Owners of jet-skis can appreciate just how quick, agile and fun they are in the water, but the [Kawasaki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilting-electric-trikes) JetCycle by Jon DeGorsky brings those same hours of enjoyment to land as well.

The concept is of a brilliant design that can transform from a motorcycle into a [Sea-Doo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seadoo-rise) in a matter of seconds. Sensing its changed surroundings, the Kawasaki JetCycle switches its function from drive to propel when it reaches the water, giving you a versatile vehicle that literally knows no bounds.
