It's a bicycle, also it's a boat, also it's a camper.

One off concept vehicle for now, but you can pre-order one for 18.000€, which I can't tell if it's expensive for a bike, or like reasonable for an amphibious vehicle, or pretty good for a camper.

Here's a look at it by some youtuber

I cross the border on this and immediatly 3 different police jurisdictions get into a shootout over what kind of licenses I need to operate this thing. I am taunting them the whole way by riding in shallow water, further complicating the situation.

Man I want one.

I’ve only seen people 60+ ride these.

How have you seen anyone ride this, there's only one in existence as off yet? Or do you mean like bike campers in general?

Ah yeah, real old rich white guy hobby at heart, on account of how much the things cost (especially given how this isn't like that much better than just booking a hotel room or bringing a tent)

But then again I'd argue anyone of them getting into this beats them buying a truck-RV or actual boat or whatever. Old white rich cycle guys are often surprisingly leftist and radical for their age in my experience.

I'm certain that plenty of younger people would ride weird shit if they could afford it.
