Adventure lovers can enjoy travelling across land AND sea with £8,000 electric houseboat tricycle fitted with kitchen, dining table and a bedroom

• The Z-Triton comes equipped with food storage areas and a folding dining table
• The Latvian-based company said the £8k tricycle boat is perfect for expeditions 
• The 'house' part of the bright blue creation has a kitchen, lights, a fan and a charging station 

Inside the kitchen there are 6 shelves integrated in interior for storing food and necessary items. There is also a folding dining table.

Once the seats are removed and stored the interior space becomes a bedroom. With pillows, sleeping mats, sleeping bags Z-Triton can sleep two adults.

Designer Aigars Lauzis, came up with the eccentric vehicle after spending four years travelling from London to Tokyo on his bike.

The vehicle is equipped with an electric boat engine which is powered by two 250-watt electric motor hubs and a solar panel.

The body of the house and boat is made out of plywood and fibreglass.

There are two adjustable seats, headlights, winch, manual wind screen wiper, a horn, and even a clock.

To switch the Z-Triton from bike to boat you need to relax the rear wheels to give room for floats on either side.

 A spokesman for the company behind the product, Zeltini, said: 'The camper has room for two people to sleep comfortably, allowing for both long adventures and quick getaways into nature.

'The tiny amphibious e-bicycle camper has been tested, performs well and is fun to ride and drive both in winter and summer conditions.'

The bike is currently still at the prototype stage but the team hope to make it available to the public some time next year.

When it goes on sale buyers will be able to select either a ready made version, or a DIY one which you have to assemble yourself.
