# Bug-Eyed Transport Trikes The Xsense by Shinsuker Aizawa is Designed for the Distant Future By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-14 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xsense-by-shinsuke-aizawa References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/xsense-futuristic-personal-vehicle-for-future-young-people-of-tokyo/) I have seen a ton of concept cars in my time, but the XSense by Shinsuke Aizawa is easily the most bizarre. Bizarre in a good way, mind you, as the [three-wheeled vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iris-etrike) is unlike anything I have ever seen before. The XSense by Shinsuke Aizawa has two tank treadlike wheels in the front and [one circular wheel in the back](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel). The driver sits into the vehicle, which can then be lowered or raised depending on the driver's preferred style. The pedals appear to be in the same spot as a regular car, and the vehicle is steered in much the same way as a motorcycle. While the design of the XSense seems a little dangerous for today, it could be great for tomorrow as city streets get more crowded and [conventional cars and trucks grow smaller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treo). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 30% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Concept Vehicles:** The XSense by Shinsuke Aizawa represents the innovative design concepts being explored in the automotive industry. - **Alternative Transportation:** The unique design of the XSense opens up possibilities for new forms of urban transportation. - **Adaptive Technologies:** The XSense's adjustable height and unconventional wheel configuration demonstrate the potential for adaptive technologies in the automotive sector. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Automakers could explore the use of unconventional designs like the XSense to create more efficient and eco-friendly vehicles. - **Urban Mobility:** Transportation companies can consider implementing similar three-wheeled vehicles to address the challenges of congested city streets. - **Technological Innovation:** Advancements in adaptive technologies and unconventional vehicle designs, like the XSense, open up opportunities for tech companies to revolutionize the transportation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shapeshifting Urban Commuter Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgx-trike-concept.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Tadpole-Shaped Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Escapism Electric Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trekker-concept-vehicle.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Autonomous Three-Wheeled Task Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-concept-trike.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Boomerang-Shaped Urban Mobility Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixl7-vehicle.md)
