Gibbs Technologies, a high-speed amphibian (HSA) technology specialist, has unveiled a prototype of what it says will be the first commercially viable high-speed amphibian quadbike/all terrain vehicle (ATV), the Quadski.

The Quadski represents the third demonstration of Gibbs' HSA technology, following in the tire tracks of its Aquada and Humdinga vehicles. The Quadski is capable of travelling up to 50 mph on land and water and makes the transition, according to the company, at the flick of a switch.

Brings up a lot of questions... Do you register it as a car, a boat or both?$$$ Same goes for insurance. Would you have to pay a ramp fee if you just drove off into the lake? And most importantly, how big is the livewell and where do you mount the trolling motor?:D
