# Sustainable Disc Communicators The Wheely Talkie by Josselin Zaigouche Looks Like a Puck By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheely-talkie References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/wheely-talkie-roll-the-wheel-to-talk-with-endless-power/) & [josselinz](http://www.josselinz.com/index.php?page=1) I've always wanted a [walkie talkie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pippo), I think I may have had one when I was younger, but I can't recall--so I'm just going to say I was deprived and therefore am entitled to the Wheely Talkie. That's logical thinking, right? Designed by Josselin Zaïgouche, the Wheely Talkie would actually be pretty practical to have on hand. Not only would you be able to stay in touch with important people ([children, spouse, elderly parents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karri), dog, etc.), the Wheely Talkie is also sustainable. Although equipped with an [emergency battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crankspeaker), all it needs is a little roll to keep going. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Disc Communicators:** Opportunity for creating walkie talkies that are sustainable and require minimal energy to operate. - **Practical Walkie Talkies:** Opportunity for designing walkie talkies that are compact, portable, and convenient for everyday use. - **Connected Communication Devices:** Opportunity for developing communication devices that enable easy and instant connectivity with important people. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Wireless Communication:** Disruptive innovation opportunity lies in developing sustainable walkie talkie technologies that enhance wireless communication capabilities. - **Consumer Electronics:** There is room for disruptive innovation in the consumer electronics industry by creating practical and compact walkie talkie devices. - **Eco-friendly Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the eco-friendly technology industry by designing communication devices that minimize energy consumption. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Off-Grid Walkie-Talkies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lito-walkietalkie.md) - [Swappable Module Walkie-Talkies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-walkietalkie-concept.md) - [Hands-Free Communication Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milo.md) - [Two-Way Kids Messaging Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bot-talk.md) - [Single-Wheeled Modular Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel.md) - [Shareable Storage-Packed eScooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/along-electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Urban Rental Scooter Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-rental-scooter-concept.md) - [Sleek Senior Walker Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-go.md) - [Outdoor Intercom Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmil.md)
