Amphibious Bike... The Ultimate All Terrain Vehicle


This bicycle has 4 pontoons which can retract or be extended for either riding the bicycle on land or on water. This kind of bike may be valuable to have in places prone to flooding especially in these times of global warming. The pontoons can also be used for dry storing cargo in and out of flood zones like in England's recent flood area.This bike might be a bike that James Bond (agent 007) might ride in one of his films. However, his might come with an electric motor that gives it super speed in on land and water through an electric hub motor. And a seat behind him to carry his female spy master.

this is really cool. my only question is how do you keep the important parts water proof?
for example i wonder if water in the bottom bracket (were pedal crank meets frame) bearings would shorten the life of the bearings considerably?

you can't exactly swim in floodwaters that are full of gasoline and waste water.This would actually be a pretty good idea, had boats not already been invented which move way faster and are also water-buoyant.
