Bike = Bi cycle = two wheels.

Motorbike?
I'm with you James. I think Tuan is not much of an outdoor person if he doesn't know the difference between a bike and a quad (four wheels).

Many names for the same thing
ATVs are also known as quad bikes. Google it.

Military use.
If they can keep the sound levels down this could be very useful for reconnaissance work.

40k for a quad that transforms into a PWC???
Hmmmmm.. No Thank you... As a quad, you likelyhood of putting a hole in the plastic/fiberglass hull is very likely. Water damage to the components of the quad is very likely. So much money for something that is not the best in either world is not a good idea. Better off buying one of each and enjoying them and pocketing the rest of the cash.

It does look to have a low ground clearence which would make it bad for typical ATV uses.
I do see this being made into more of a street legal watercraft. The off road tires and 4x4 capability more needed for safely entering and exiting the water than anything else.
I see this as another alternative to the golf carts and other small untility vehicles, like John Deeres Gator, that have become a common sight in many communities.
Water front property owners with limited space for parking ATVs and PWCs would be the target market. I can see a big resort market for these.

4 wheel foolishness
more hydrocarbons, more sitting on our asses getting no exercise, more noise pollution, more access to quiet out of the way places - how American.
I'm waiting for the next iteration that turns into a personal aircraft, that will make every say living super safe.
Is this really sort of subject we have to read about in Smartplanet?

Great Practical vehicle
Definitely serve me well as I need to drive and also take a boat to work.
With this its all the way on same vehicle.
If only the authorities does not put too much rules on the use (but they usually do), I think its a great creation. Just that the price should come down somehow to make it more affordable to the general public. This is also going to take away the congestions we face on the road too.
