Designed by Micro Mobility, the hybrid vehicle has the design of a scooter mixed with the functionality of a Segway to keep operators feeling agile as they make their way through city streets. The three-wheeled design of the vehicle allows riders to feel confident during operation and will also provide space to store essentials thanks to a compartment under the seat. The 'Microletta' is capable of delivering up to 100 kilometers of range per charge and can reach a top speed of 80km/h (50mph). Priced at €4900, the trike will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March and can be reserved via the brand's website at no cost. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Transportation Solutions:** The combination of design elements from different modes of transportation provides opportunities for creating innovative solutions for urban commuters. - **Three-wheeled Urban Vehicles:** The trend towards three-wheeled vehicles for urban transportation offers an opportunity for the creation of affordable, efficient and sustainable solutions. - **Micro Mobility Vehicles:** The development of compact and lightweight mobility vehicles can create opportunities for the design and manufacturing of novel transportation solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Electric Vehicle Industry:** The integration of electric power with mobility vehicles provides opportunities for the EV industry in creating specialized solutions for urban commuters. - **Micro Mobility Industry:** The emergence of micro mobility industry is creating new opportunities for the development of lightweight, compact, and energy-efficient vehicles for urban transport. - **Recreational Vehicle Industry:** The utilization of hybrid vehicle designs from recreational vehicles offers a transformative way to design innovative solutions for urban transportation's ever growing needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md) - [Customizable Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maven-urban-etrike.md) - [Recumbent Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recumbent-electric-trike.md) - [Rectangular Cockpit Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricycle-scooter-design.md) - [Shapeshifting Urban Commuter Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgx-trike-concept.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike1.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)
