It's not difficult to disconnect in Manhattan's Governors Island, a 172 acre public park that receives sporadic cell service. The park's developers initially requested [charging stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovia) to be implemented, but after noting the park's massive size, they decided these stations would be more practical if they were mobile. The studio designed a small cubic attachment that could fasten itself on the back of a traditional bike and unfold into a [solar-powered canopy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion). The idea, is that visitors will be able to rent a Mobile Information Unit before arriving to the park, and bike it to wherever they please - providing themselves with anything they need to enjoy their stay. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Solar-powered Bike Tech:** There's a growing demand for bike attachments that can charge and power gadgets through solar energy. - **Mobile Information Units:** Rental opportunities for mobile information booths are increasing across the US, as people seek alternative WiFi services in public spaces. - **Green Mobility Solutions:** Green transportation options including bike rentals with built-in amenities can have added benefits to urban areas. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Smart Transportation:** Integration of renewable power and information access options into public transportation infrastructure can be a game-changer for cities. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and tourist attractions can expand their services and appeal to sustainability-minded visitors by offering bike rentals and eco-friendly amenities. - **Urban Planning:** Developing urban spaces to include renewable power and mobile information booths can make public spaces more functional and accessible. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered eBike Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beambike.md) - [Wireless E-Bike Charging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobidock.md) - [Electric Street Food Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartebike.md) - [Wireless Bike Battery Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiler.md) - [Scooter-Like Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-work-station.md) - [Space-Saving Urban Mobility Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-doro.md) - [Solar-Powered Bike Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunrider-1.md) - [Mobile Car-Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-electric-charging-station.md) - [Cordless E‑Bike Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiler-compact.md)
