# Emergency Crotch Rockets The R-Aid Ambulance is Designed to Be Towed by Motorcycle By Michael Hines | Published 2011-07-30 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r-aid-ambulance References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/07/29/urban-jungle-ambulance/) Big cities around the world could really benefit from adding at least one of Angel Lee's R-aid ambulances to their fleets of emergency vehicles. The R-aid ambulance is a trailer ambulance designed to be pulled by a motorcycle. The ambulance's small size is designed to combat the urban gridlock that makes it impossible for most ambulances of size to operate effectively. A few minutes can often mean the difference between life and death, and nobody wants those minutes to be used honking at other cars to clear a path for an ambulance. The R-aid ambulance has space for three: a driver, a paramedic and a victim. While the trailer is small and most likely lacks the equipment of a standard ambulance, that should be a non-factor, as travel time from the scene of an accident and the hospital would be significantly lower. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Ambulances:** Opportunity for developing small and mobile ambulances for urban areas to combat traffic and save lives. - **Motorcycle Towing:** Potential for innovation in designing trailers for transportation by motorcycles, for various purposes like ambulances, moving, etc. - **Compact Emergency Vehicles:** Opportunity for designing more compact and functional emergency vehicles that can better perform in tight and crowded urban areas. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Emergency Response:** Development of specialized emergency response solutions and equipment that are more efficient and suited for diverse urban settings. - **Automotive:** Opportunities for designing trailers and accessories for motorcycles and other compact vehicles that help them to perform various specialized functions. - **Transportation:** Opportunities exist for designing more efficient transportation solutions for dense urban areas that are too crowded for standard vehicles and ambulances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Off-Road Frontline Medic Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-chariot.md) - [First Responder Scooter Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-kickscooter.md) - [Local Low-Speed Electric Ambulances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gem-ambulance.md) - [Accurately Maneuverable Motorcycle Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycle-trailers.md) - [Modular Emergency Vehicles Proposals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-emergency-vehicles.md) - [AR-Equipped Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyelights-rocket-one.md) - [Cutely Compact Commuter Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bike.md) - [Vehicle-Ready First Aid Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redi-the-roadie.md) - [All-in-One Vehicular Health Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redi-the-roadie-firstaid-kit.md)
