# Pollution-Free Trikes The Triciclo Kamikaze May be Engineless, But Still Looks Heavy-Duty By Meghan Young | Published 2011-07-22 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triciclo-kamikaze References: [designbuzz](http://www.designbuzz.com/entry/triciclo-kamikaze-throws-engine-pollution-free-ride/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/mariano81/Triciclo-Kamikaze/2) The Triciclo Kamikaze isn't your typical tricycle. Forget about the traditional training wheels for little ones, this ride looks more like a [motorized trike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike-design) than a [three-wheeled bicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars). A heavy-duty mean machine, it nevertheless does away with the engine so as to make it pollution-free. Designed by Mariano Ayastuy, the Triciclo Kamikaze offers a cool and manly city ride. Thankfully, Ayastuy's love for nature compelled him to create something eco-friendly. Larger than a pedal bike, the Triciclo Kamikaze withstands impacts while ensuring a better grip when landing during [off-road adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triumph-txp). It also features a structural pipe box section, an aluminum circular 2-inch team Shimano Alivio derailleur and mechanical disc brakes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market more pollution-free transportation options for urban environments. - **Heavy-duty Tricycles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create durable and versatile tricycles for off-road adventures and urban commuting. - **Sustainable Urban Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sustainable transportation solutions into city infrastructures to reduce pollution and improve mobility. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and enhance the transportation industry with cleaner and greener alternatives. - **Outdoor Sports and Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture heavy-duty tricycles for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. - **Urban Planning and Development:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with city planners to incorporate sustainable mobility solutions into urban development projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tilting Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilting-electric-trikes.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Daily Driver E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herotri-m.md) - [Child-Toting Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ouca-bikes.md) - [Slick Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-tricycles1.md) - [Autonomous Three-Wheeled Task Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-concept-trike.md) - [Easy-to-Ride Electric Cruiser Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/envo-flex-etrike.md) - [Electric Three-Wheeled Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettwiesel-one-plus.md)
