The rapid pace of technological innovation has reshaped how people seek experiences, entertainment, and excitement, driving demand for increasingly innovative and emotionally engaging products. This project focuses on designing a vehicle capable of navigating multiple terrains and environments, offering users unprecedented freedom while providing society with a practical and valuable solution. Traditional personal watercraft are fun but rarely integrated into daily life and seldom create a strong emotional connection with the user. Our amphibious motorcycle aims to bridge that gap, combining revolutionary driving experiences with a deep personal bond.
The target user is a young, highly educated, and independent member of Generation Z, influenced by contemporary social norms, peer groups, and personal preferences. They are tech-savvy, interested in AI, IoT, and emerging technologies, enjoy adrenaline and sports, value freedom, and seek meaningful travel experiences. Motorcycling is a key passion, creating a social and emotional connection that this vehicle reinforces.
In use, the motorcycle transitions seamlessly from land to water. On the road, it behaves like a standard motorcycle. Upon entering water, lateral pneumatic stabilizers deploy, followed by retractable foils using hydraulic or pneumatic mechanisms. A rear foil-integrated propeller then engages, enabling hydroflight—lifting the vehicle above the water for a smooth, agile, low-friction, and immersive aquatic experience.
