BeTRITON continues to make waves as they embark on a tour across Europe, showcasing their revolutionary amphibious e-bike in eight major cities. The BeTRITON tour not only highlights the unique features of this one-of-a-kind vehicle but also explores its potential as the ultimate sightseeing craft. With a blend of a boat, camper, and bicycle, BeTRITON offers a novel way to experience the scenic beauty of each city from both land and water.

Aigars Lauzis, the visionary architect behind BeTRITON, initiated the project in 2018, aiming to create a versatile mode of transportation that seamlessly transitions between biking and boating. The current retail version, a 250-kilogram beetle-shaped marvel, boasts a retractable e-bike at the front and a modest cockpit in the middle. Inflatable pontoons ensure stability while navigating water, and the interior provides a cozy sleeping space of about one by two meters, accommodating up to two people.

The BeTRITON’s e-bike may not be the fastest, reaching a maximum speed of 25 km/h, but it promises an impressive range of approximately 100 km on a full charge. Aigars Lauzis has documented the BeTRITON’s capabilities in his vlog, showcasing its robust motor as it conquers challenging terrains, including a steep pass through the Swiss Alps.

Acknowledging the diverse interest in their innovative creation, BeTRITON is not only catering to those who can afford the machine but also developing a secondary line of DIY models. Enthusiasts can assemble their own BeTRITON at home, making the experience more accessible to a broader audience.

Adding another layer to their initiative, BeTRITON is actively seeking partnerships during their European tour. The tour aims to demonstrate how well the amphibious e-bike fits into the sightseeing experience of major European cities. As part of this outreach, BeTRITON is inviting cities to consider the potential of incorporating this unique vehicle into their urban landscapes. The tour is a platform for potential collaborations, with BeTRITON expressing interest in identifying the first city to adopt this innovative transportation solution.

Among the cities under consideration are Vienna, Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Venice, and more. BeTRITON is actively soliciting suggestions for additional cities in Europe that would benefit from integrating this unconventional mode of transport into their tourism infrastructure.

As BeTRITON continues to turn heads throughout Europe, the question remains: Who will be the first city to embrace this futuristic blend of adventure and sightseeing? The answer might just be found as the BeTRITON tour unfolds, offering a glimpse into a new era of urban exploration.

But that’s not all — BeTRITON is set to introduce a new trailer model, and they’re offering a sneak peek at NEXPO Tallinn. The full launch is just around the corner, and the team invites you to come say hello at booth A12 during this week-long cleantech event. The anticipation is building as BeTRITON expands its horizons, pushing the boundaries of transportation and urban mobility.
