Acting almost like a [one-wheeled skateboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mach-one-electric-skateboard), the 'ATOM FLIYE' is crafted with an [aluminum frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-machine-olto) and a singular tire that enables riders to ride around locations with ease. Coming in four color options, the 'ATOM FLIYE' is currently being funded on Indiegogo and features lights on the front and rear to ensure optimal visibility when riding at night. The 'ATOM FLIYE' transportation device is expected to be delivered to consumers starting in February 2017 and could help to make commuting easier for urban consumers. The unit is designed in Stockholm, Sweden. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hoverboard-inspired Transportation:** The 'ATOM FLIYE' exemplifies the trend of hoverboard-inspired transportation that offers a convenient and efficient way to commute. - **Single-wheel Mobility:** The 'ATOM FLIYE' represents the trend of single-wheel mobility devices that provide a compact and agile mode of transportation. - **Aluminum Frame Technology:** The use of aluminum frame in the 'ATOM FLIYE' demonstrates the trend of lightweight and durable materials in transportation devices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Personal Transportation:** The 'ATOM FLIYE' aligns with the personal transportation industry, offering a unique alternative to traditional modes of mobility. - **Urban Commuting:** The 'ATOM FLIYE' taps into the urban commuting industry by providing a convenient and eco-friendly solution for city dwellers. - **Sports and Recreation:** The 'ATOM FLIYE' caters to the sports and recreation industry, offering an exciting and thrilling way to enjoy outdoor activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel.md) - [All-Terrain Electric Skateboard Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheel-electric-board.md) - [Onewheel Off-Road Board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offroad-board.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [RGB-Equipped E-Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atomi-alpha.md) - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Multifunctional Personal Mobility Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modi.md) - [Hoverboard-Luggage Design Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trunk-car.md) - [Electric Performance Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hydrofoil-board.md)
