BalloonRiver
Amphibious single-wheel personal vehicles for last-mile delivery and transportation in river communities. The vehicles use unicycle-style electric propulsion on land and deploy inflatable balloon chambers for water buoyancy, enabling seamless travel from roads to rivers without switching vehicles.
The Wow Moment
A rural delivery rider glides off a dirt path directly into a river, their wheel instantly deploying inflatable pontoons. They float across to an isolated village that trucks can't reach, then ride up the riverbank onto a footpath—never breaking their journey or changing vehicles, delivering medicine in minutes instead of hours.
