Really nice talking to the inventor at the Amsterdam event. He has put a lot of love and effort into this wonderful hybrid thing. He deserves it that his baby will succeed.
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.

Actually that could be done quite easily if not for Aerial & Land Travel Laws! Self driving may be relatively new,yet autopilot is not. The only thing preventing a drone from remaining in the sky is fuel/power. I already envisioned a true 'Mobile Home' a long time ago. Drones can be programmed to follow specific routes & can even be controlled/moved simultaneously or autonomously. *Now Imagine your House's foundation was actually a platform that can be lifted by drones! Sun Glare on the TV? No problem,just rotate the house until you get the view you want! Oh that Greedy local government wants to keep raising housing costs you say? Screw'em,just move somewhere cheaper!* Where do you feel like loving this week? These are the kinds of ideas & thoughts that get people killed!!!
This is so cool. Out of my price range but some day I’ll try and get one simply to support such a cool and unique endeavor. Shout out the inventors this is awesome
I love how modern technology can really shape ideas that go off the beaten track. Only small enthusiasts would come up with an idea like this. Big companies would never. All the 3D printing and recycling tech nowadays makes it possible for small enthusiasts to set up something that can grow into something truly original and cater a niche. Amazing!
Jack, you amphibious buffoon, this was a DELIGHT to watch! :D and I'm sure it's too expensive for me, and I don't have anywhere to park it, but.... I *definitely* want one!
I am not sure what you could expect. They could make it lighter, by making the top out of cloth, but then you would feel exposed to animals and crazy people. I think it is pretty neat, but the price someone quoted in the comments of $20k puts it way out of my price range for a hobby vehicle.
I feel like people should already know any e bike contraption is going to be over priced to come back usa's laws and regulations. USA hates vehicles that don't require a license and paperwork to ride so they have tons of requirements for bikes, which end up making the price of them go up to a ridiculous amount. It's wild people can by 80 to 120k SUV no problem but have issues when people decide to buy a 1.3k to 20k ebike.
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 could really use this 😮 Peddle into the back country to a favorite lake or river and spend a couple nights right on the water. I definitely see the potential in this. 🤔
I think it would be even cooler if the boat cockpit was for pedaling on the road instead of sitting where you do while pedaling. Something like a VELO Bike.
@_____ You could just as easily “preserve the biking experience” by simply using the sliding roof which they’ve clearly already thought of to get yourself some fresh air while biking.
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.
@@donhagerty5669 @user-bk5tc4bj5b he talking about the boat part. If the battery runs out while on the water, you're basically stranded. Which is why the original commenter mentioned paddles.

Definitely do a trip in it. Would be great. And Jack’s right that there aren’t many sustainable products for van-life type people. This is really cool. Not sure I would ever use the boat part, but definitely would do multi-day camping tours with it.
I was thinking that it would be quite awesome if a vehicle like this could pull up to a J-1772 charging station and charge up, just like an electric car would. With these charging stations everywhere, you never run out of range. 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.
I like it. very silly but imagine the fun of a canal holiday. suspect you could cram in a lot more solar - maybe enough to manage to travel a bit every couple of days without having to find a charge point..
@@macrumpton yes, I agree, but not much help if you are moored up next to a canal path somewhere. I just think you could fit quite a lot more solar on there if wanted..
@@macrumpton True, but finding an outlet that whoever owns it is willing to let you use is not always easy. Finding a chargepoint, we have apps that make it trivial. Also, a Chargepoint would still be able to charge the battery faster than a wall outlet - a difference between 10 minutes vs. 1 hour is still significant.
I think you could definitely widen the hull and add a larger battery and boat motor, and add a gear reduction in the form of an extra gear reduction for the bike for even more leisurely riding and you could potentially take something like that long distances for a more economic price range
Their market is very specific. People who love cycling, camping and boating, and with so much spare money that blowing 20k on this thing wouldn't phase them. In others words, people with more money than sense.
This video is brilliant, one of my favourite FC videos ever. Much better than watching Jack cruise around in yet another electric SUV. More of this amphibious buffoonery please. Especially if it involves talking out of vent holes.
Brilliant. Would have loved to know about charging capabilities etc. Equally keen to see how Jack might get on using this on an actual trip out in the wild.
Mildly disappointed that you need to manually convert it between land and water modes, particularly that you need to get into the water and fold the wheels up. Something to improve on might be the ability to at least drive up out of the water. Definitely a unique invention though!
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.
@@thomasfitzpatrick6392 According to their site they actually are air riggers, not solid. You do have to blow them up yourself but so small it would not take long and takes up a lot less space in the vehicle. 14000 euro though so it's not for everyone.
It would likely have to be much wider to prevent tipping then. Seeing as it already barely fit the biking lanes, I don't see that as much a possibility.
I love how the video is made. With all the small flaws, (ie. lay down the wrong way) and how you correct them. I love the humor in the way you represent both yourself, and the produkt. Even I (a cheap, indoor, afraid of water individual) was tempted to try it out. 👍👍
I commented almost a month ago; since then, I realized that if the BeTriton gets a variant with a larger camper portion for my 6'1" frame (~2 meters in the Metric school of thought), I'd be much more willing to pay a pretty penny to get one. Still, the BeTriton oozes fun and potential.

I was entertaining the thought of having a trip with a bicycle and a kayak. Towing the kayak on land and losing the bike in there sea. That vehicle is exactly what I would have built for that purpose. I love it.
No price mentioned. I think I would like an economy version that had the camper but without the boaty bits. Not having the water engine and steering should save both weight and money.
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.
It would be great to see you doing a trip in it, Jack. Maybe you'll even figure out how to sleep in it :D My advice would be to take some blankets or a sleeping bag. That beauty doesn't look all that windtight or insulated to me :D
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 would have been slightly more impressive if Jack knew how to open it or which way to get in. I guess the boat bit might be useful for river crossings (if there is a ramp), but it doesn't look like you'd want to get very far from shore on a windy day. Not quite sure how useful that is in practice. I suppose the idea is that you can park by a lake somewhere and then go pootling/fishing?
Here in australia, we have a river called the Murray. its long, wide and flat. This would be perfect for travelling along the river. Camp on the banks and use the bike to explore the river towns. You could set up solar panels on the out riggers or even tow floating panels and charge while travelling
Yes, and on the other side of the coin, why not a cycle-chain-drive / human powered propeller backup for boat mode? Running out of battery on the water would be a disaster.
I thought it would use the front wheel as a rudder when in boat-mode. Also, would this be really acceptable as an e-bike in a lot of countries when you can't really pedal it easily?
My first thought is, how is that going to be regulated over here :D I mean do I register it as moped (it has too powerful a motor to be treated as an electric bicycle, 250 W is the limit) or as a boat? I'm guessing it's actually too small a boat to require registration (I think 5,5 m was the limit). But if it's a moped I couldn't drive it on bike lanes except where explicitly allowed. Oh how the car drivers would hate me if I'm on public roads on this :D But I mean, Finland has 57 thousand lakes, and the lake area does also have some nice little roads - this could be a really fun vehicle in this country.
moment of bragging being Latvian😁 at least You cought this one.. Just missed first Paris Dakar Hybrid, Electric car and Pikes Peak Electric latvian made veichiles..
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!
Wow this is amazing. I mean obviously this is just a start but this could be a pathway to something new that could be huge. I would definitely love to have one. I love seeing cool new ideas like this. So awesome !
I think this is Brilliant, if I was 20 years younger and had the money I´d buy one, at least. For an adventurous family, with two of these, you could go practicly anywhere, I love it. 🤠
As an extreme fisherman who uses his bicycle to travel far off places and wishes he could also have the mobility to cross the water this is an absolute win! Well maybe when I win the lottery!
Putting a plant and peaks on the hull to shade the solar cells is a stroke of genius! Jokes aside I can see a use-case for this in countries with alot of water with access ramps where you might commute, but since the products usability is 90% in hard to reach areas with calm waters and bike roads, the price tag and electricity is 90% city life. This means that the product is not going to be intuitively useful or wanted except in very extreme niche situations.
This is so cool! Only thing they need to add is a paddle tire for the bike to propel yourself in the water. Might throw off weight distribution though lol
Remember the time before Tesla, when people said "big oil" was stopping the electric car, but it turned out basically the issue was none of them were something anyone would actually want? Yeah this is one of those old cars that just worked against the industry they were trying to start. I love statements like "it's handling this lovely nice wide dutch cycling lane naturally"....the idea of an adventure vehicle barley able to handle a purpose built paved lane is fucking hilarious. This is a thing built for people who have literally not interest in cycling or adventure to enable them to do those things.....what a wonderful customer base.
A fold out umbrella material canopy with a lightweight wire frame might be handy to drive the boat in light rain and compact enough for them to include.
They need to make the bike wheel flip upwards and act like a boat sail. Also need a fish cooler and drain system outward. And made for 2 seater. It's an adorable idea. And maybe gps too.
Maybe jack could take a long trip in that thing, across paths, roads, streats, fields and rivers all just to end up at Robert's house. Sounds like fun to me : )

Exactly! Or a parawing from water-repellent fabric
I think you could definitely widen the hull and add a larger battery and boat motor, and add a gear reduction in the form of an extra gear reduction for the bike for even more leisurely riding and you could potentially take something like that long distances for a more economic price range
Everything about this is adventure, getting in, getting out, sleeping and even converting it into boat seems adventurous 😁😁
Their market is very specific. People who love cycling, camping and boating, and with so much spare money that blowing 20k on this thing wouldn't phase them. In others words, people with more money than sense.
This video is brilliant, one of my favourite FC videos ever. Much better than watching Jack cruise around in yet another electric SUV. More of this amphibious buffoonery please. Especially if it involves talking out of vent holes.
Brilliant. Would have loved to know about charging capabilities etc. Equally keen to see how Jack might get on using this on an actual trip out in the wild.
Mildly disappointed that you need to manually convert it between land and water modes, particularly that you need to get into the water and fold the wheels up. Something to improve on might be the ability to at least drive up out of the water. Definitely a unique invention though!
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.
Instead of solid rigger, air expandable neumatic. Just another button to push
@@thomasfitzpatrick6392 According to their site they actually are air riggers, not solid. You do have to blow them up yourself but so small it would not take long and takes up a lot less space in the vehicle. 14000 euro though so it's not for everyone.
It would likely have to be much wider to prevent tipping then. Seeing as it already barely fit the biking lanes, I don't see that as much a possibility.
One less thing that won't break though...
Great, this guy is a smart engineer. Sir, maybe in the next version you can make the bike detachable. can wade. just flew🤤😵
As funky and questionably practical this is, we NEED inventions like this to push innovation. THIS IS HOW NEW IDEAS ARE MADE
I love how the video is made. With all the small flaws, (ie. lay down the wrong way) and how you correct them. I love the humor in the way you represent both yourself, and the produkt. Even I (a cheap, indoor, afraid of water individual) was tempted to try it out. 👍👍
I commented almost a month ago; since then, I realized that if the BeTriton gets a variant with a larger camper portion for my 6'1" frame (~2 meters in the Metric school of thought), I'd be much more willing to pay a pretty penny to get one. Still, the BeTriton oozes fun and potential.
One quick look on their website and this fun little bikeboat starts at 14,500€... not so fun anymore but nice to see it exists haha 😊
E considerando que eu moro no brasil e o euro atualmente tá uns 5,30 reais por 1,00 euro, fica pior ainda!!
Daria cerca de 76.850 reais atualmente! E com o salario minimo em 2024 vai ser previsto em 1412 reais, levaria cerca de 54,42 salários minimos pra comprar!! 😱😱😱😭🥺
O que eu quero dizer é: se tá ruim pra vocês europeus e estadunidenses, imagine pro Brasil ou outros países de moeda mais fraca... 😅😮😢😢😭😔😱
Ao menos vocês conseguiriam comprar com 1 ano ou 2 essa invenção com um salário minimo... 😅😮😢😢❤
No brasil teria que ser com uns 4,5 anos NO MÍNIMO!! 😢🥺😭😔😱😱
Awesome, Now I want one.😎👍💯
My wife can fit in it perfectly, but I might need a longer boat camper bike.
I was entertaining the thought of having a trip with a bicycle and a kayak. Towing the kayak on land and losing the bike in there sea. That vehicle is exactly what I would have built for that purpose. I love it.
No price mentioned.
I think I would like an economy version that had the camper but without the boaty bits. Not having the water engine and steering should save both weight and money.
The full thing is 14,500 EUR
@@jordanmcgrory2171 😅😅 lol no way
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.
It would be great to see you doing a trip in it, Jack. Maybe you'll even figure out how to sleep in it :D
My advice would be to take some blankets or a sleeping bag. That beauty doesn't look all that windtight or insulated to me :D
The seat looks NEXT LEVEL uncomfortable
“Let it sink in” maybe isn’t the best words to say 😂
I'm only going to get one if it flies too...and it also needs knobs to fiddle with....yeah (actually I think it's brilliant..)
You want a flying RV? Watch this space. Seriously.
It would be neat to make a flying amphibious glider with electric assist.
@@skylerlehmkuhl135 It was meant to be a joke 😆
Never joke online, people run with it.
@@terrafirma9328 sounds like communism!
I’m sorry, but his legs are so long he just looks so funny! 🤣🤣🤣
Leave my Kermit the Frog physique alone
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
its actually rly nice, imagine everyone having one all would be happy and live their lifes
You gotta appreciate people coming up with random ideas and making them into reality. =)
I would have been slightly more impressive if Jack knew how to open it or which way to get in.
I guess the boat bit might be useful for river crossings (if there is a ramp), but it doesn't look like you'd want to get very far from shore on a windy day. Not quite sure how useful that is in practice. I suppose the idea is that you can park by a lake somewhere and then go pootling/fishing?
i can see it being used on canals/ broads very nicely
Here in australia, we have a river called the Murray. its long, wide and flat. This would be perfect for travelling along the river. Camp on the banks and use the bike to explore the river towns. You could set up solar panels on the out riggers or even tow floating panels and charge while travelling
nice idea but needs a v2 with a single electric motor that can do both, also needs to be able to drive in and drive out of the water
Yes, and on the other side of the coin, why not a cycle-chain-drive / human powered propeller backup for boat mode? Running out of battery on the water would be a disaster.
Just bring some oars
@@eduardoez It comes with optional oars.
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
This is the best thing I've seen in many days!
The bike itself is cooler than the boat. Would like to see more of those… make it an e- bike while your at it. Very, very cool bike!
I thought it would use the front wheel as a rudder when in boat-mode.
Also, would this be really acceptable as an e-bike in a lot of countries when you can't really pedal it easily?
My first thought is, how is that going to be regulated over here :D I mean do I register it as moped (it has too powerful a motor to be treated as an electric bicycle, 250 W is the limit) or as a boat? I'm guessing it's actually too small a boat to require registration (I think 5,5 m was the limit). But if it's a moped I couldn't drive it on bike lanes except where explicitly allowed. Oh how the car drivers would hate me if I'm on public roads on this :D But I mean, Finland has 57 thousand lakes, and the lake area does also have some nice little roads - this could be a really fun vehicle in this country.
No, bro, you're wrong, it's a bike
moment of bragging being Latvian😁
at least You cought this one..
Just missed first Paris Dakar Hybrid, Electric car and Pikes Peak Electric latvian made veichiles..
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!
Very cool and fun design, plus 10 points for a plant holder decoration!!
Finally, a water world prepper😂 handy in this climate we have lately
Weird product, great channel.
This looks soooo awesome! As an introvert, I'd still get this! I wonder how many of our german traffic laws will prevent this from existing here...
Wow this is amazing. I mean obviously this is just a start but this could be a pathway to something new that could be huge. I would definitely love to have one. I love seeing cool new ideas like this. So awesome !
9:43 "Nice boat😃... It's got no wheels at all🤨... Rubbish 😒" I love this man's humour 😂
Finally something we all need
I think this is Brilliant, if I was 20 years younger and had the money I´d buy one, at least. For an adventurous family, with two of these, you could go practicly anywhere, I love it. 🤠
As an extreme fisherman who uses his bicycle to travel far off places and wishes he could also have the mobility to cross the water this is an absolute win! Well maybe when I win the lottery!
I wish the Triton was alittle more affordable for the average income person. This is such an innovation! Im in love
Putting a plant and peaks on the hull to shade the solar cells is a stroke of genius!
Jokes aside I can see a use-case for this in countries with alot of water with access ramps where you might commute, but since the products usability is 90% in hard to reach areas with calm waters and bike roads, the price tag and electricity is 90% city life. This means that the product is not going to be intuitively useful or wanted except in very extreme niche situations.
Idk if it will become popular but this is definitely interesting and pretty cool
I love that crazy thing! Looks like so much fun!
This is so cool! Only thing they need to add is a paddle tire for the bike to propel yourself in the water. Might throw off weight distribution though lol
What can I say....I thought I've seen it all. This is a superb product. I should get one. Only that my wife won't so much a come near it.
Love the chimney-like plant pot 😂❤
Id paddle this right across Canada, spend nights on random ponds. Fantastic.
Remember the time before Tesla, when people said "big oil" was stopping the electric car, but it turned out basically the issue was none of them were something anyone would actually want? Yeah this is one of those old cars that just worked against the industry they were trying to start. I love statements like "it's handling this lovely nice wide dutch cycling lane naturally"....the idea of an adventure vehicle barley able to handle a purpose built paved lane is fucking hilarious. This is a thing built for people who have literally not interest in cycling or adventure to enable them to do those things.....what a wonderful customer base.
A fold out umbrella material canopy with a lightweight wire frame might be handy to drive the boat in light rain and compact enough for them to include.
Can't lie, that's adorable
while chilling in the back and reading User Manual:
"Chapter 3. Boat mode
1.Tell your man to convert your BeTriton into a boat"
Floating casket from Lithauania😂
They need to make the bike wheel flip upwards and act like a boat sail. Also need a fish cooler and drain system outward. And made for 2 seater. It's an adorable idea. And maybe gps too.
