With the growing popularity of e-bikes, people are discovering new and exciting ways to enjoy the great outdoors. We\u2019ve talked about a bunch of e-bike campers in the past, but what if your desire for adventure goes beyond dry land? Well, there are options like BeTriton\u2019s Z-Triton, an innovative amphibious e-bike that can be ridden both on land and in the water. As it would turn out, BeTriton wasn\u2019t content with its initial design, and has released a new model.<\/p>\n
In essence, BeTriton\u2019s newest innovation offers all the same features and benefits as the original, but in a more versatile package. While the original Z-Triton was a standalone vehicle, the new model is compatible with virtually any e-bike as it takes the form of an easily attachable trailer. It makes use of a seatpost attachment that can be fitted on virtually any bike, but BeTriton recommends it to be fitted on more powerful e-bikes, specifically S-Pedelecs capable of speeds up to 28 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that the BeTriton Trailer has a width of 1.4 meters (about 4.5 feet), so it may be a bit of a squeeze on tighter bike paths. Meanwhile, on the water, the camping boat measures 2.4 meters by 4.5 meters (7.9 feet by 14.7 feet), offering a generous amount of room for up to two adults \u2013 talk about a romantic date on a lake. The boat gets around via an electric motor producing a maximum output of 2,150 watts. The company says that it can travel at speeds up to five miles per hour.<\/p>\n
When it comes to battery tech, the boat gets two batteries with a capacity of 1,440 watt-hours each. Should you choose to use both batteries, range is estimated to be about 15 miles. BeTriton says that the amphibious e-bike trailer is designed for use in inland waters, as well as shallow coastal waters. In Europe, it corresponds to category D per recreational boat guidelines. The boat can carry up to 260 kilograms including the batteries, your e-bike, some luggage, and two adults. The e-bike you use to pull it around on land can be attached with an additional carrier mounted on the stern and drawbar.<\/p>\n

In terms of pricing and availability, the BeTriton Trailer commands quite a premium. Its basic package commands 9,900 euros, or about $10,807 USD. However, opting for the whole package, complete with sleeping mats, folding anchors, lights, and extra storage compartments, will set you back a whopping 12,300 euros (about $13,427 USD).<\/p>\n
