I think we should have a sticky thread for the weird and the wonderful.

Like this offering, which not only do we have an Ebike(with the widest handlebars on planet Earth) but it doubles as a boat, or triples as a caravan.
Although this has to be the craziest thing out there, I applaud the idea, and why shouldn't we design things like this ?, why should electric bikes be limited to bikes pulling a basic trailer.
I dont know about anyone else, but I've always had a love for those mini caravans we sometimes see behind bikes, but the problem there is you can tell it would be a nightmare to pull along usually being so heavy.
But with the advent of ebike motors, this task is made not only much easier, but opens up the scope of things like trailers/cargo boxes, and even boats
So if you've a vid(or pic) of a towable caravan, or even boat that you think is cool and a smashing idea, then post it up for everyone to admire(or laugh at)

Is that the Bafang M620?

I'm much more likely to attempt making my own bike camping trailer... which might briefly float. "Poor man's fibreglass" looks like cheap and effective waterproofing, when it doesn't outgass forming bubbles:

Bafang m620 would mean it needs registration as a moped. Electric canal river boats need a licence for the year - 25% for electric propulsion. A rowing boat only needs a weekly/ monthly licence. Here’s an alternative.
