Quad bike and boat
on: October 24, 2012, 02:47:55 PM
With all the discussions lately about off road vehicles, ATVs, quad bikes and canoes I thought this may be of interest:

This is the Gibbs Quadski, an amphibian that operates as both an ATV and a personal watercraft. Although it looks like set dressing for HBO’s Eastbound & Down, we can attest that the Quadski is real—Gibbs says it will be on sale by mid-November.

That's pretty cool! I've seen lots of the six and eight wheeled amphibious rigs (we call them Max's) on the trails but they're not very quick or nimble.


Keep calm and jeep on

$40k seems a bit much for me- you could get a nice quad, trailer and jet ski for that.

Cool idea though- if it catches on and the prices become reasonable I'd be all over one!

Agreed, price sucks, but but if the concept proves to be viable, it will come down in price.

And I really hope it does.
