I think this is an idea that so many people have thought about doing. the problem is if you do make such a hybrid. It's not good on either land or water. If the wheels bend like that, how good of a suspension can you really have.

the wheels aren't bending they're on a hinge so really its just like a hydro set up only they tuck in not just up.

It's still a compromise on both though as it wont handle like a jetski or a banshee.

What's with all the reposts?!!!

There's no wheel or suspension articulation. Wouldn't use it as an ATV. Maybe as a golf cart. That way you could drive to the middle of the water hazard to get your ball....

It also looks like if you took a hard corner on the water, the wheels would dip into the surface and spin the craft around and probably throw you from the unit.

I think thats freaken cool... plus I doubt there are too many negatives except that wheel mechanism looks easy to break on a hard-enough bump in ATV mode
