While scooters are becoming a more popular form of [eco-friendly transport](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-electric-scooters), the main drawback is that they do not have any storage space for items the user may wish to carry. This bike provides a handy storage solution in the form of a convenient cargo rack. The Nimble Urban Scooter is a kick scooter designed for travelling short distances within cities. But unlike other scooters, this device features a cargo rack on the front. The rack is big enough to fit standard bike baskets and can support up to 300 pounds. Unlike a cargo bike, the scooter is ideal for short distances such as running errands or travelling to the gym. With a [collapsible, lightweight design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niu-kqi-200f) that allow for easy storage, the Nimble Urban Scooter is a handy alternative to a car or even a cargo bike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Cargo Kickscooters:** Cargo racks on kickscooters provide an eco-friendly and efficient means of transporting items in urban areas. - **Eco-friendly Transportation:** More and more consumers are seeking out sustainable transportation options for short distance travel. - **Multi-functional Devices:** Innovative designs that merge functionality and mobility for users become more popular as urban consumers seek versatile and sustainable alternatives to cars. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Micromobility:** Companies that develop and produce micromobility devices such as kickscooters and electric bikes could benefit from incorporating cargo racks to provide users with added value and convenience. - **Sustainable Transport:** As consumers become more environmentally conscious, businesses that offer sustainable transportation options, such as kickscooters with cargo racks, will see increased demand and growth opportunities in urban areas. - **Fitness & Wellness:** Incorporating cargo racks in fitness-related kickscooters provides convenience for gym-goers and fitness enthusiasts looking for a sustainable way to travel to and from the gym or park. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scooter-Cargo Bike Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razor.md) - [Canopy-Covered Cargo Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-scooters.md) - [Cargo-Prioritizing Scooter Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-escooters.md) - [Folding User-Friendly Urban Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Shareable Storage-Packed eScooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/along-electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Storage-Packed Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-e110a-escooter.md) - [Urban Rental Scooter Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-rental-scooter-concept.md) - [Robust Electric Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-stand-bike.md) - [Eco-Friendly Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-electric-scooter.md)
