Your support makes all the difference.Engineers from Warwickshire have created a motorbike that can transform into a jet-ski, in just five seconds.
The Biski motorbike features a chassis that floats and two wheels which can retract when driving into the water.
It then uses two water jets to propel the vehicle at speeds of up to 37 mph.
A video posted by Gibbs Sports Amphibians shows the motorbike conventionally on a country road, as you would expect, before it does the unimaginable and enters water.
Gibbs claim the motorbike, which weighs 500 pounds, is able to reach 87 mph on the road; and is highly stable when in the water.
