Is This Electric Trike the ULTIMATE Adventure Vehicle?

  • Jack 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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    • @MartinzW
      @MartinzW ปีที่แล้ว +7

      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.

    I love the vehicle. The one issue I have with it though is just that using it as a boat is probably just a novelty which will wear off and not many people will use the boat part, so it's just adding weight to the bike making it less efficient so more effort to use. Although the more I think about it I realise that I might use it on the norfolk broads if I had the bike boat thingymebobby. Anyway the boat part is just a little impractical. Also... Jack you absolutely awesome amphibious buffoon. I would love to see more E-bike-campers out on the road as well though. Thanks for the great video.

    • @bigglyguy8429

      I've owned 3 boats, still have one, and the biggest reason for buying bigger engines is current and tides. 5 kph is a slow tide; you find yourself on a tidal river with this contraption and it's likely to sweep you away. You need more power on water, not less like this thing. I agree, ditch the boat aspect and just concentrate on a more capable and comfortable camper-trailer.

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'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.
