The vehicle is being marketed online

If you are one of those water sports addicts, then you'd probably desperately want one of these. The Pumpabike does some amazing stuff. It looks like someone ripped off the wheels, put some spell on it and threw it on water, where this vehicle is highly maneuverable and cool-looking.

All this baby needs to stay on water is a minimum water depth of a mere 50cm, enough for you to take on a spin. Besides that, the vehicle can actually propel itself along with its owner, by means of the rider's motion, jumping up and down (along with you). You'd better be in a great physical condition before you venture out far, as you could run out of energy for the way back. And you also have to weight at least 77lbs to jump on it.

The Pumpabike is made of aluminum and plastic, and has no hard components to cause the rider injuries, therefore it is great for all ages. No to mention it has a portable and easy to store shape that allows you to keep it under the bed until summer holidays are back again.

It weighs only 30lbs, so it packs easily into carry bags for easy storage. You can assemble it in just 10 minutes and the top speed is of 18mph.

It features two wings, both front and rear propulsion, so it should be well balanced. However, you'll have to start bouncing, the rhythm is very important as it gives it power to advance. And if you lose it, you're going underwater.

But the best part is definitely the green faces of envy your friends are going to make when they see you on one of these. If I managed to stir some interest in this beauty, you should know that it costs around 500 pounds a pop, just as much as a renting a ski-jet for a couple of 'rides'.

Still, before anything else, I suggest you take a look at this Pumpabike sample:

Mad kangoroo!
