# Mobile-Integrated Mopeds The T-Scooter Syncs with Your Smartphone for a Hi-Tech Ride By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tscooter References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/02/12/the-t-ride-with-iphone/) & [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/online-exhibition/) The T-Scooter concept presents a convenient conveyance to get you from A to B, but it's more than a moped with a modern look. When Chen Kaiwen was developing the [two-wheeler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harley-davidson-livewire) for Tone Design, the most distinctive feature became the handset-accepting dashboard. In the center of the handlebars, the [motorized bicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-electric-bike) has a transparent case made especially for the placement of your [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-commuter). It contains and protects your device, all the while enabling you to interact effectively with its touchscreen interface. Operating in sync with a special T-Scooter app, this system keeps you informed about traffic conditions up ahead, and you can map out your route, check the weather and consult any other relevant information. There is also a rear-facing camera built into the bike, and the live video is visible on your gadget's display. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mobile-integrated Vehicles:** Companies can innovate on integrating mobile devices into various types of bikes, scooters or vehicles for optimal user experience. - **Smartphone-powered Dashboards:** With the rise of smartphone usage, dashboard technology could be restructured to integrate with mobile devices, making it an invaluable and convenient feature for daily commutes. - **Connected Commuting:** Companies can capitalize on creating a complete ecosystem on connected commuting, where different modes of transportation can be linked with each other for optimal level of service. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Personal Transportation:** Personal transportation industry can revolutionize how vehicles and mobile technology can intersect to create a better transportation experience. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics industry can capitalize on offering products and software that can integrate with different modes of transportation ultimately syncing with passengers' mobile devices. - **Smart Travel Solutions:** Smart travel solutions can provide the ultimate connected commuting experience by integrating mobile technology across various modes of transportation to make transit seamless and pleasurable. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Picnic-Ready e-Scooter Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vespa-smeg-futro.md) - [Picnic-Ready Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-futro.md) - [Folding User-Friendly Urban Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Functional Urbanite Scooter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timo-electric-scooters.md) - [Safety-Focused Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t8.md) - [Rectangular Cockpit Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricycle-scooter-design.md) - [Snazzy Electric Mobility Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mobility-scooter.md) - [App-Enabled Electric Kickscooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appenabled-electric-kickscooters.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prozui-electric-scooter.md)
