Mayu Phillips is looking for a skiff for this sort of thing

Mayuko Phillips has a post about that

My name is Mayuko Phillips I want to find the best skiff design to tow behind an electric bike or scooter please?

No never it’s for very slow speeds short distances by the water

I was thinking of welding the handle of the jockey wheel so it acts as the tiller with an extension handle to the cabin. More simple than cable steering. this would be for steering on land or on the water

All I would need is a couple of small wheelie bins like this. Chop the top and side off one of them and fold the other top up to slot the other bin inside then glue and bolt them together add a jockey wheel with one of the electric bike conversion kits that operate from your phone

It will be a bit like this trike but with the hill all around it

There are lots of devices like this to turn. Normal bike into an electric bike like this

My amphibious capsule hotel will be made out of two wheelie bins joined together like this The two wheels midships will act as lee boards and for stability/buoyancy. Each will have single peddles that can be operated either by hand or foot like these kids carts the rear wheel will be the...

Well my original idea was just an electric bicycle wheel on the stern but apparently the wheelbarrow wheel is much more hard wearing and waterproof

I was thinking about an electric wheelbarrow wheel on the stern which would have simple cable steering from the cab. Apparently they are waterproof and very hard wearing, of course very slow it would only be for moving the pod short distances. it could provide a little forward thrust and...

Thanks for all replies lots of food for thought here. yes there is no ideal all round it’s all compromises my craft will be a transportable capsule hotel on wheels. It won’t be very fast on land and won’t be very good on water at all but it will be able to float and cross small bodies of...

The amphibian aspect is just for crossing rivers or small waterways ect I will have an electric wheel on the back so no need for gears keeping it simple there is a fine line between ridiculous and genius this is ridiculously simple

The peddle system is the hard part. It will be a paddle boat in the water with fins on the wheels and something like this for a mechanism. It has to be removed when in sleep mode
