The Swiss Army Knife has stood the test of time as the ultimate multi-tool for any explorer. You can saw through wood, open a tin can and hang stuff on that weird hook thing. But now, a small engineering firm has created what it thinks could be the ultimate versatile adventuring tool: camper trike.

That’s right, with #VanLife and off-grid living sweeping the nation, one engineering firm in Latvia is striving to create one super vehicle to cover every mode of transport you can think of. And its boat//camper hybrid really is quite something.

Called the Z-Triton, , multipurpose machine combines a battery-assisted trike with a small boat, which also doubles as a sleeping area, kitchen and passenger transporter. It can carry two people, one rider and a passenger. The Z-Triton claims to have space for two people to sleep inside.

Its built-in battery pack can carry you 50 km on land or 20 km in water. The also has a solar panel on the roof for charging, as well as a 220v charging port.

While you’re traversing the highways, the Z-Triton looks like any other bike pulling an oversized trailer. There’s a seat and , as well as the pedals to keep you moving.

This setup is bolted , which looks a bit like someone tried to recreate the traditional English narrowboat for a hyperactive millennial.

It’s all vibrant colors and angles but with plenty of windows to keep your vitamin D levels topped up. Oh, and there is also a space on the roof to pot up your favorite plant. Cute.

, you just have to flip up the rear wheels and the front running gear. There is also a pair or stabilizers to inflate, and the electric motor must be lowered into the water.

Then, you’re . And just in case you run out of power in the middle of a lake, the Z-Triton also has space to attach two oars to paddle home.

Inside the futuristic trailer, the Z-Triton has space for two people to sleep, a fold away kitchen table, a sound system and USB charging. What more could you possibly want?

Priced at €14,500 ($16,000), the Z-Triton , oh no. This year, the firm started deliveries of the Z-Triton, and it also has plans to ship it worldwide.

So, when can I get my hands on one to recreate the time David Tracy and Jason Torchinsky ?
