# Bike-Like Segways The S3TR Scooter is a Fun and Foldable Commuter Conveyance By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-06 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s3tr References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/12/04/a-ride-down-easy-street/) & [s3tr.hr](http://www.s3tr.hr/) Not everyone can appreciate the slick and futuristic look of the leading segway designs. Many will better appreciate the appearance, the operation and the feel of the S3TR ("Streeter") as a practical alternative. Designed by Vladimir Bošnjak, this personal vehicle upholds a more sporty image with a spoked front wheel and a sharp detailed body. On the S3TR, the rider can feel more secure and stable than he might on a regular Segway. This motorized standing tricycle has a total of three wheels with a generous foot platform spread between the smaller back two. A tall set of handlebars enable you to keep upright while touring about town, and little leans to the right and the left help you steer the S3TR. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sporty Personal Vehicles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sleek and sporty designs for personal vehicles that offer a more appealing alternative to traditional transportation options. - **Motorized Standing Tricycles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create motorized standing tricycles that provide increased stability and a secure riding experience for commuters. - **Foldable Commuter Conveyances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design foldable commuter conveyances that are compact, portable, and convenient for urban commuting. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine the transportation industry by developing innovative solutions for personal commuting. - **Sporting Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate sporty designs and advanced technology into personal transportation devices for the sporting goods industry. - **Urban Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Improve urban mobility by creating foldable and portable transportation solutions for urban dwellers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Robust Electric Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-stand-bike.md) - [Structurally Supportive Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheel-electric-bike.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Slick Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-tricycles1.md) - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md) - [Shapeshifting Urban Commuter Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgx-trike-concept.md) - [Daily Driver E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herotri-m.md)
