Pet Power

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Dog Powered Scooter

— March 28, 2007 — Tech
This is a true environmentally friendly scooter, the Dog Powered Scooter which obviously uses your dog's energy. At first your dog will surely struggle to get the scooter going (poor doggy) but once you give a kick or two the pulling load will be minimal.

Implications - The way the Dog Powered Scooter works is by harnessing your pet and clipping them into the scooter's frame. This is a great way for a dog to feel like they are doing a job and also great exercise. The dog will learn when to slow down, how to turn with the scooter and when to speed up. This handy contraption definitely looks like it would be more fun than walking!
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Transportation - The Dog Powered Scooter offers an innovative solution for environmentally friendly transportation by utilizing dogs' energy.
2. Animal-assisted Exercise - The Dog Powered Scooter introduces a new way for dogs to get both physical and mental exercise while providing their owners with a unique form of transportation.
3. Interactive Pet Products - The Dog Powered Scooter exemplifies the growing trend of interactive pet products that engage animals in beneficial and enjoyable activities while offering practical uses for humans.
Industry Implications
