The wheelchair is part of a [sharing system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-mobility-service) that could be used as a rental setup to further prioritize convenience for the user. The unit could be easily parked at a retail platform to be safely stored and recharged when heading inside, while the adaptable construction of the wheelchair promises a customized experience. The conceptual 'Fluid' wheelchair hand cycle is the design work of Tsai Cheng-Yu, and is equipped with wheel hub brakes and inclined wheels to reduce the possibility of tipping during use. Turn signals in the rear keep surrounding persons informed of the operators intentions for increased safety. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Wheelchair Designs:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional wheelchair market with modular designs that prioritize customization and convenience. - **Sharing Economy Mobility:** Opportunity to implement rental setups and sharing platforms for mobility solutions. - **Smart Safety Features for Mobility Solutions:** Opportunity to innovate with safety features to increase user and surrounding person safety. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobility Solutions Industry:** Modular wheelchair and sharing economy mobility trends create opportunities for disruption in the mobility solutions industry. - **Retail Industry:** Collaboration with retail platforms to provide parking and charging solutions for mobility devices. - **Technology Industry:** Developing smart safety features on mobility devices increases opportunities for innovation in the technology industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-in-One Senior Mobility Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-wheelchair.md) - [Modified Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-wheelchair.md) - [Transformable Lightweight Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheeliy.md) - [Assistive Manual Wheelchair Add-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manual-wheelchair.md) - [Robotic Movement-Interpreting Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-unione.md) - [Senior-Supporting Mobility Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-skateboard.md) - [Luxury Discrete Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discrete-wheelchair.md) - [Airplane-Friendly Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airchair-wheelchair.md) - [Luxe Lounge Motorized Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-resilience.md)
