# Retro City Scooters The MUV-e Scooter is Aimed at Eco-Conscious Urbanites By Michael Hines | Published 2013-05-22 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muve-scooter References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/muv-e-scooter-low-energy-cost-efficient-green-vehicle-for-the-city/) & [myurbanvehicle](http://www.myurbanvehicle.com/) The MUV-e Scooter is aiming to redefine how urbanites travel around cities. The MUV-e Scooter was created by Amir Zaid and Benny Shimon. It is powered by an [electric battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-electric-scooters) and has a [retro-futuristic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman). (The retro part comes from its structure; when is the last time you saw a stand-up scooter outside of apart from the one Marty McFly road in "Back to the Future?") The scooter can be [folded for easy storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kqi-100f) once you reach the home/office. The MUV-e Scooter is powered solely by electricity and can hit a top speed of 15 mph and has a max range of between seven and 15 miles. While those specs leave a bit to be desired, it's important to note that the MUV-e Scooter is still in the early stage of development. Zaird and Shimon plan to release two versions of the scooter, with the luxe model featuring smartphone integration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Scooters:** The rise of electric scooters and their potential to revolutionize urban transportation. - **Retro Design:** The popularity of retro-futuristic design in modern urban transportation. - **Smartphone Integration:** The integration of smartphones in electric scooters as a key factor for user experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** Companies focused on manufacturing electric vehicles including electric scooters have an opportunity to corner the urban market with affordable, eco-friendly solutions. - **Design and Engineering:** Design and engineering firms have an opportunity to create cutting edge designs for electric scooters that incorporate elements of retro design and futuristic technology. - **Smartphone Technology:** Smartphone technology companies can partner with electric scooter manufacturers to incorporate user-friendly smartphone integration in electric scooter designs for an enhanced user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folding User-Friendly Urban Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Folding Seated Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seated-scooter.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prozui-electric-scooter.md) - [Electric Commuter Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navee-s65.md) - [Mini Foldable Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-foldable-electric-scooter.md) - [Picnic-Ready Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-futro.md) - [Last-Mile Delivery E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muv-e.md) - [Long-Distance Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prozui-electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Novice-Friendly Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-electric-scooters.md)
