Quadski - Half ATV, Half Jetski
Friday, June 2nd, 2006
Called the ‘Quadski’, this one-person vehicle drives like a normal ATV while carving up the beach. But when the driver’s ready to cool off or in the mood for a more form of recreation, a press of a button, a five-second wait, and–presto!–you’ve got yourself a jetski!
According to Gibbs Technology, the Quadski is both a quadbike and a jet ski and converts from one guise to the other at the touch of a button in under five seconds, using the 140 bhp motor to reach 50 mph (72km/h) on both land and water.
While the company acknowledges the recreational purpose of the vehicle, it also points to more serious use like rescue missions in out-of-way places. A noble pursuit indeed, but let’s hope the Quadski isn’t priced like the Aquada at either its original asking price ($285,000) or at after it was discounted ($142,000).
