The conceptual MAVEN Urban E-Trike is a futuristic transportation solution for the modern city that would provide urbanites with an adaptable way to get around on their own terms.
Designed by Tanner Van De Veer, the trike puts a focus on an industrial aesthetic that could be collapsed down when not in use. The vehicle could also be augmented at specific points to suit riders of different heights thanks to the scissor-like construction, which is further enhanced thanks to shifting handlebars.
The conceptual MAVEN Urban E-Trike could be shared amongst a group of people rather than being owned by only one person to maximize usage and reduce downtime. This speaks to the changing nature of urban transportation as consumers seeking out ways to maximize their ability to freely get around.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Adaptable Urban Transportation
- Developing industrial design concepts for urban transportation may not only offer efficient and environment-friendly mobility options but also enhance ease of use and ownership
- Collapsible Personal Transport
- Innovative design of mobility solutions, such as customizable and collapsible vehicles, could make transportation more accessible and convenient for consumers
- Shared Electric Trikes
- Shared mobility solutions like electric trikes provide affordable and sustainable alternatives to personal car ownership, and may inspire innovation in the sharing economy
Where This Applies
- Transportation
- Developing new transportation solutions, such as electric trikes or scissor-like collapsible constructions, could create efficiency while reducing carbon emissions and congestion
- Design
- Designers who create futuristic transportation options for urban dwellers have significant disruptive opportunities to expand mobility access and urban sustainability
- Shared Economy
- Shared urban mobility solutions, like electric trikes, have the potential to dramatically transform the ownership and use of personal transportation, encourage collective responsibility, and inspire more innovation in the sharing economy
