And no, this (https://explorersweb.com/2021/04/01/hold-onto-your-carrot-shaped-hat-its-the-z-triton-by-zeltini/) isn't an April Fool's joke. :)
Trust me: you gotta watch this short video. :muscle:

For escapades demanding the shelter of a turtle and the speed of a hare, a quirky new mode of transport has just hit the adventure market.
The Z-Triton is a peculiar meld of trike, boat, and camper van, designed by the Latvian company Zeltini. (Their very fun website is here (https://zeltini.com/en/).)
Ultimately, the Z-Triton is an amphibious camper with a built-in tricycle that folds up neatly to allow a transition from land to water. Measuring a compact 3.6m long by 1.2m wide, it sleeps two people comfortably. Well, sort of. Maybe.

The Z-Triton sleeps two. Dog not included.
Two 250-watt motors with an electrical outboard engine provide power for lighting and temperature control. Specs include a cockpit with two mirrors, a horn, and an umbrella for rainy days.
It has a 26-inch front wheel and two 20-inch rear wheels in trike mode. When converted into a boat, the back becomes the front — stay with me — while the two smaller wheels fold up at a 90-degree angle. Smaller details such as the cup holder, passenger seatbelt in trike mode, and ample interior storage make it almost luxurious.

Z-Triton in boat mode. Dog still not included.
For about $12,000, the Z-Triton could be yours. While that might seem a little steep, wouldn’t it be handy to have one craft to travel on land, across water, and also to sleep in?
The Z-Triton’s creators say they build “amphibian mobile homes and vehicles for human resilience and fun, aiming to make products that create unique experiences/emotions.” If nothing else, the company has a wonderful sense of humor.
