For years I’ve had this vision of marines riding electric motorcycles across the seabed and barreling out of the surf onto a foreign beach, much to the enemy’s surprise.

Now that is cool!  I seen a few sites, one main one really where the car turns into a boat, you literally drive it into the water push a button and now it goes 30 mph in the water!  Can you imagine if they could integrate that into an electric vehicle!  The battery weight tho I think would be your biggest problem there.

Saw this in a shop window in Valencia this year without a price tag (if you have to ask, you can't afford it).

I think those things are pretty much only good on pretty calm waters.  If you start getting any chop then it's going to be an issue because the propulsion is not a real hot setup, it may have troubles with the surge forces.  It does look pretty neat though, I wonder what the range is on it?
