# Grocery Store-Inspired Cycles Amxma's Simple One Folds Up into a Shopping Cart By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-one References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/simple-one-bicycle-folds-to-become-a-shopping-cart/18186/) & [amxmabike.tw](http://www.amxmabike.com.tw/main/Products_en.aspx?c_id=c0000001) Chinese company Amxma is attempting to change the way you see bicycles forever and always with the Simple One. The Simple One is a [folding bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bromptons-g-line) made by the epically named Long Antelope Enterprise Company of Taiwan that instantly goes from bicycle to shopping cart. When folded the two wheels of the of the Simple One are up front while a [smaller third wheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettwiesel-one-plus) (think of a Penny-farthing) provides stability in the back. The bike's basket becomes front-facing and can be used as a miniature shopping cart. The Simple One has an aluminum frame, 20-inch wheels and comes in models of eight and 27-speeds. The Simple One has a unique design somewhat offset by the fact that it can't be pushed from behind and that the basket is a little small. If you're willing to overlook these two issues then the Simple One can be yours to have and to hold provided you live in China. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Folding Bikes:** Opportunity to innovate in folding bike designs with additional functionality. - **Multi-functional Transportation:** Opportunity to integrate transportation with other daily tasks, such as shopping. - **Sustainable Transportation:** Opportunity to create eco-friendly transportation options for urban environments. ### Where This Applies - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Opportunity to create innovative folding bike designs with multi-functional capabilities for urban commuters. - **Retail:** Opportunity to integrate transportation with shopping experiences by creating more bike-friendly stores. - **Environmental Sustainability:** Opportunity to develop more eco-friendly transportation options for urban environments through partnerships with bike manufacturers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Foldable City Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-cycle.md) - [Wheel-Wedging Folding Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-wedging-folding-bicycle.md) - [Adventurous Folding Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatbike-change-adventure.md) - [Compact Collapsible Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapsible-bike.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Fast-Folding E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/btwin-e-fold-900.md) - [Structurally Supportive Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheel-electric-bike.md) - [Rotating Shopper Baskets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-concept.md) - [Modular Cargo-Ready Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargorida.md)
