Jelgava 93Latvian startup BeTRITON unveiled an amphibious electric trike that functions as a bike, boat, and micro-camper. The Full model weighs 210 kg, reaches 25 km/h on land and 8 km/h on water, with a range of 150 km. The sleeping area measures 0.95×2.1 m, suitable for one person, and the 1.45 m width poses challenges on narrow bike paths.
Latvian entrepreneur Aigars Lauzis has unveiled the BeTriton 3.0 concept — a modular electric vehicle that transforms into a tricycle, boat and motorhome. On the road, a 250 W electric motor powers it to 25 km/h with a range of up to 150 km; on water, a separate 2,150 W motor provides speeds up to 8 km/h. In motorhome mode, it offers a fold-out sleeping area; optional solar panels allow recharging.
Stars of the Latvian reality show "Family in a Jar" are preparing for a trip around the Baltics in a camper. Uģis Kuģis decided to forbid his family from using the toilet in the vehicle to avoid having to clean the corresponding tank.
A Dutch couple known as De Rugzakkies canceled their world tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic and instead bought a 1983 Mercedes 508D fire truck to convert into a camper. The project involves multiple stages, from purchase and planning to furniture installation, and will be documented in a series.
