An Italian company has come up with a DIY (Do it Yourself) kit which transforms cycles into man-powered jet skis. The Shuttle Bike Kit is priced at €1,399 including VAT. The kit contains two bright yellow pontoons, which helps riders to float. A propeller is fixed into the front wheel which provides thrust to the shuttle bike, according to the reports. As the propeller is being fixed to the front wheel, the gears of the bike remain functional and its steering can be handled from the handlebars.
Shuttle bilke can be carried in backpack
The shuttle can sustain a maximum speed of 7mph (miles per hour) and an average velocity of 4mph, in terms of speed. Administration and sales manager at SBK Engineering, Gabriele Perotti said that the shuttle bike can be carried in a backpack and can be conveniently functioned due to both propeller and handlebar being placed on the front of the vehicle. According to the reports, Gabrielle Perotti claimed that fitting the specialist components won't affect the everyday use of the cycle. He added that the propellers the pontoons can be detached in less than 15 minutes.
