The two-wheeled vehicle was conceived as a [light cargo vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-haule) as its name indicates. Ortiz notes, "Although initially designed as more of a blue sky concept, cargo still embodies many practical resolutions. The styling is meant to appear traditional from the front, while the profile reveals something entirely new. A square shaped hole was chosen to suggest objects should fill it." This is one of those pretty concepts that may never go into production, but I really like this uncomplicated, attractive design. This scooter is similar to the Cargo: ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 Scooter:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop electric scooters specifically designed for carrying parcels. - **Last-mile Delivery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to improve last-mile delivery efficiency by utilizing parcel-carrying scooters. - **Cargo Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to revolutionize cargo transportation through the use of compact and agile scooter designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Logistics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to enhance logistical operations by incorporating parcel-carrying scooters into delivery fleets. - **Electric Vehicle:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to expand the electric vehicle market by developing specialized scooter models for parcel-carrying purposes. - **Urban Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to improve urban mobility and reduce traffic congestion by promoting the use of parcel-carrying scooters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scooter-Cargo Bike Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razor.md) - [Cargo-Prioritizing Scooter Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-escooters.md) - [Compact Last-Mile Delivery Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-bike-concept.md) - [Swappable Battery Delivery Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-delivery-scooter.md) - [Canopy-Covered Cargo Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-scooters.md) - [Modular Cargo-Ready Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargorida.md) - [Angular Enclosed Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cargo-bike.md) - [Rectangular Cockpit Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricycle-scooter-design.md) - [Functional Urbanite Scooter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timo-electric-scooters.md)
