Is This Electric Trike the ULTIMATE Adventure Vehicle?
Переглядів 2,661,468
День томуJack heads to Amsterdam for an exclusive first ride/drive of the remarkable BeTriton. Part e-bike, part boat, part camper, it might just be one of the strangest vehicles we've ever featured on the Fully Charged Show. But is it real? Does it work? Will it float?? We put a very large man in it and pushed him out to sea to find out.
00:00 You don't see that every day...
1:10 The origin story
3:01 A tour of the BeTriton
4:11 The bike bit
6:18 The boat bit
7:18 The camper bit
8:57 Testing on water
12:58 Concluding thoughts?

Considering how niche the thing is and how limited the market for it is, he's never going to become rich from this thing, and he seems clever enough to know that. This is a labour of love, clearly. And that being the case, I have all the more respect for the guy for ignoring greed and making something that will bring joy and wonder into people's lives. I would like to see a tandem version though, for couples. Because as joyous and wonderous as exploring the world can be, I would personally want to do it with my wife, and I know she'd absolutely love to do such a thing with me.

One thing with the boating part, if someone is adventuring they might be taking the boat through many different waterways and water locations. Depending where you are in the world, this could be disastrous if you take microbial or small invasive species from one place to the other. Some places require you do a full clean of the hull before moving from one body of water to the other.

I'd say my only gripe with is no pedal system to operate it in case of a battery failure, as it seems a bit awkward for using a paddle on. Otherwise, pretty clever design. And depending on how much weight it can handle would be great for just local use to the grocery store and back. Kinda want to do something like that for myself, though definitely would need something besides bike tires for it work right for where I want to use such a thing.

And the best part is, for a small vehicle like this, you probably wouldn't even need the DC faster chargers - even just plugging in at level 2 would likely be very, very fast.

@MartinzW Рік тому
Seeing as the back wheels fold up and need attachment, perhaps much smaller cart-like wheels can be built in the bottom of the frame (like a half a wheel out of frame) - ensuring that you can set it up on the land and then back it up in the water - once backed up, the front wheel can be set up and you can get in. On the other hand, the target market for these are travellers that don't mind stepping in water when necessary.

This is great! Honestly been looking for something like this. Hoping future models might include a longer range on the water, say to perhaps make a trek across the Bering straight with a stop on one of the islands half way through. Or maybe make a little detour around the Darian gap. If it were pedal assisted on the water, I believe it would be quite reasonable.

I can see it going remote locations, but it doesn't seem seaworthy, only for lake and calm river crossings. Island hop to Bocas del Toro maybe, no way I'd go out to sea in that thing.

You should take a look at the wild world of transoceanic rowboats. That's as close to this thing as you're going to find that's also seaworthy enough for the Bearing Strait.

I hope you donate a lot to the lifeboats if you think this sort of crap pile is seaworthy

I've been following the progress of this for ages. I do want something like it, but don't really need the boat part, which I think compromises it's potential somewhat. Pleased to see Jack could fit no worries, even the wrong way round.

Id paddle this right across Canada, spend nights on random ponds. Fantastic.

Hi I want one and I want it now! Me and my son's gonna have a fun :)

nah, should be more streamlined, a recumbent bike that converts to a boat.

Maybe that’s V2, minus the camper bit

All recumbents get to see is the exhaust pipes of cars. This is a view platform for touring

I believe I read somewhere that the Baltic states are investing in science and technology to be relevant and competitive. If that is true it truly shows and if that isn’t true you have some truly mad and devoted geniuses there!
