# Four-Way Transformer Tricycles The Ts-Tricycle Features Four Different Ways to Ride By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ts-tricycle References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Ts-Tricycle/669058) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/matiasconti/frame) The bicycle may be doomed to an early extinction if the Ts-Tricycle ever comes onto the scene. This tricycle was designed by Matias Conti as a [transformable tricycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system) that can take up to four different shapes. Being able to switch up the shape of the Ts-Tricycle means that there is almost nowhere it can't go. Cross-country, steep hills, and off-road areas are all accessible to the Ts-Tricycle thanks to its [unique folding design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-etrikes). The Ts-Tricycle may be a concept now, but I'd still watch my back if I were the bicycle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Transformable Transportation:** There has been a surge in demand for multifunctional transportation devices that can be used in various terrains and environments. - **Folding Innovation:** As consumers seek compact devices that are easy to store and transport, there is an opportunity for designers to create even more innovative folding mechanisms. - **Alternative to Bicycles:** The demand for innovative tricycles is growing as they provide a more stable and safer alternative to traditional bicycles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Adventure:** The Ts-Tricycle can address the growing demand for more versatile and rugged transportation devices in the outdoor adventure industry. - **Urban Commuting:** As more people commute via bike or scooter, the Ts-Tricycle presents a novel transportation solution for urban cities and businesses. - **Home Fitness Equipment:** Folding innovation in tricycles can also disrupt the market for home fitness equipment, offering new ways for people to integrate exercise into their daily routine. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triso-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Transforming Electric Unicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaa.md) - [Rectangular Cockpit Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricycle-scooter-design.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Triangle-Shaped Bicycle Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangleshaped-bicycle.md) - [Tread-Wheel Geometric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-q.md) - [Customizable Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maven-urban-etrike.md)
