# Efficient Nesting Rickshaws The Lecomotion Urban E-Trike is a Fun and Effective Way Around Town By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-05-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lecomotion-urban-etrike References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/lecomotion-nested-urban-e-trike-with-in-crank-generator-and-in-wheel-motor/) & [natachalesty](http://www.natachalesty.com/) Just as you may have spotted [rentable bicycles around many cities worldwide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev), the Lecomotion Urban E-Trike concept would be available to the public for hire as well. Offering parents a convenient way to transport a couple of kids, the [compact rickshaw](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike-design) gives everyone fresh air and a great view of his surroundings. For mom or dad, Natacha Lesty's contraption serves as a welcome form of exercise and an opportunity to settle down whining children. One of the reasons why we might not have seen many concepts like the Lecomotion Urban E-Trike before is because this large tricycle could prove quite difficult to store. The designer got around this with a proposal that the conveyance would fold and stack, making it compact and easy to transport between depots with others. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Foldable Urban Trikes:** There is an opportunity to create more urban mobility solutions that are foldable, making them easier to store and transport. - **Eco-friendly Transportation:** There is an opportunity to develop more eco-friendly transportation options that reduce emissions and rely on sustainable energy sources. - **Child-friendly Mobility:** There is an opportunity to create more modes of transportation that are accessible and safe for families with children. ### Where This Applies - **Green Transportation:** The green transportation industry can capitalize on the trend of eco-friendly transportation options. - **Shared Mobility:** The shared mobility industry can expand their offerings to include more child-friendly options. - **Urban Mobility Solutions:** The urban mobility industry can benefit from developing more foldable and compact solutions for city dwellers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Family-Friendly Cargo E-Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-etrike.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Customizable Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maven-urban-etrike.md) - [Child-Centric e-Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecargo-bike.md) - [Slick Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-tricycles1.md) - [Electric Cargo Trike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-slev.md) - [Multi-Seat Rickshaw Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volton.md) - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md)
