# Taxicab Tricycles The Moto Limos Club Offers Two and Three-Wheeled Taxis in LA and NYC By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-limos-club References: [autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/15/first-motorcycle-taxi-service-headed-for-los-angeles-and-new-yor/) & [motolimos](http://www.motolimos.com/home.html) The Moto Limos Club is bringing the concept of the two-wheeled taxi to American shores this spring. The company has a fleet of [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-swapping-station) Goldwings and [Can Am Spyders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars) set to offer the business men and women of New York City and Los Angeles a quicker and arguably more exciting ride to their meetings. Moto Limos Club is a members-only service that offers upscale amenities like Bluetooth-enabled helmets to its clients. Memberships start at $125 and the hourly rate for a Honda Goldwing is $90. I can see this service being wildly popular in Los Angeles, where the weather is permanently sunny, but New Yorkers may be a hard sell even though the company is promising thick blankets for wintertime riders. Hopefully, other cab companies will be inspired and start offering [motorcycle taxis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayder) as a low-price alternative as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 26% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Motorcycle Taxis:** The Moto Limos Club is introducing motorcycle taxis to the US market, providing a quicker and more exciting ride to their clients. - **Upscale Members-only Services:** The Moto Limos Club offers luxurious services to its clients such as Bluetooth-enabled helmets, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the membership industry. - **Weather-adaptable Transportation:** Moto Limos Club promises thick blankets for wintertime riding in New York City, providing an opportunity for the development of weather-adaptable transportation services. ### Where This Applies - **Transportation:** Motorcycle taxis are entering the US market as a low-price alternative, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in transportation services. - **Luxury Services:** Moto Limos Club provides upscale amenities to its members, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in luxury services. - **Weather Adaptation:** Moto Limos Club promises weather-adaptable transportation, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the development of adaptable services for various weather conditions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sit-Down Scooter Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheels.md) - [Dual-Rider E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-3.md) - [Three-Wheel Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xoto-founder-edition.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [High-Performance Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meet-one-trike-tour.md) - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Precision Tilting E-Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike1.md) - [Daily Driver E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herotri-m.md)
