# Coffee-Carrying Trikes The Wheelys 2 Electric Trike Serves Coffee On The Go By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-01-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheelys References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/wheelys-2-coffee-shop-trike/35610/) & [wheelyscafe](http://www.wheelyscafe.com/index.html) The Wheelys 2 is an electric cargo trike that doubles as a mobile coffee shop. The wheeled contraption was created by the Nordic Society For Invention and Discovery in Sweden. While the first Wheelys 1 was non-electric and was pretty similar to any old ice cream-vending trike. However its successor includes a wide variety of interesting features. For one it comes with electrically or manually pumped running water, an animated LCD menu board that be connected to the operator's smartphone, a 20-liter water tank, a speaker for playing music, a router for converting the trike into a Wi-Fo hotspot and a roof that can be lowered while riding. The Wheelys 2 is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign. A pledge of $7,000 will get you a Wheelys 2. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electric Cargo Trikes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry by developing electric cargo trikes with versatile features for multiple purposes. - **Mobile Coffee Shops:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food and beverage industry by creating mobile coffee shops on electric cargo trikes to provide convenient and on-the-go coffee services. - **Smart Trike Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by integrating smart features like LCD menu boards, smartphone connectivity, and Wi-Fi hotspots into electric cargo trikes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry by developing electric cargo trikes with versatile features for multiple purposes. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food and beverage industry by creating mobile coffee shops on electric cargo trikes to provide convenient and on-the-go coffee services. - **Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by integrating smart features like LCD menu boards, smartphone connectivity, and Wi-Fi hotspots into electric cargo trikes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Street Food Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartebike.md) - [Electric Cargo Trike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-slev.md) - [Coffee-Brewing Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vauxhall-mokka-coffee.md) - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Coffee-Brewing Cafe Racer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-caf-racer.md) - [Slick Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-tricycles1.md) - [Tilting Cargo-Friendly eTrikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trike-flatbed-hybrid-750.md) - [Child-Toting Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ouca-bikes.md) - [Pedal-Assisted Cargo eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lambrogio.md)
