# Compressed Eco Trikes The L3 Electric Bike is Designed With Tourists in Mind By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l3-electric-bike References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/L3-Electric-bike) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/cparrapa/frame) The [L3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiido-l3) Electric Bike is a new mode of transportation from designer Camilo Parra Palacio designed for tourists. This unusual vehicle has the shape of a tricycle, looks like a small [Vespa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vespa-gts-310-edizione-ottantesimo) and moves like a reverse Can-Am [Spyder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mc20-cielo-1). The bike is small and compact, which makes it ideal for navigating around crowded city streets. The motor of the L3 Electric Bike has a range of 12 miles and a battery life of seven hours. Despite the bike's short range, it can hit a maximum speed of 31mph, which should be all the power you need to make you way through the crowded streets of the world's major cities. The two rear-wheels steer the bike, letting you lean into corners as if you were riding a Can-Am Spyder. A slew of conceptual images can be seen here, along with a few images that depict a finished L3 Electric Bike in action. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compressed Eco Trikes:** The L3 Electric Bike showcases the trend of compact and eco-friendly tricycle designs. - **Tourist-friendly Transportation:** The L3 Electric Bike taps into the trend of creating transportation options specifically tailored for tourists. - **Innovative Urban Mobility:** The L3 Electric Bike highlights the trend of developing innovative electric vehicles for urban transportation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** The L3 Electric Bike presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the transportation industry, specifically for compact and eco-friendly modes of transportation. - **Tourism:** The L3 Electric Bike presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the tourism industry, offering an efficient and unique mode of transportation for tourists. - **Electric Vehicles:** The L3 Electric Bike presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the electric vehicle industry, showcasing advancements in electric mobility for urban environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supportive Three-Wheeled Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xp-trike.md) - [Slick Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-tricycles1.md) - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md) - [Enclosed Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carver-electric-city-car.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Improved Electric Tricycle Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xp-trike2.md) - [Pedal-Assisted Cargo eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lambrogio.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md)
