For those of you who’ve ever wished you could literally bike on water, Red Shark has you covered. After it’s pedal-powered trimaran proved a little too cumbersome for most users, the Spanish company is back with something that’s easier to transport and store.

The Red Shark Bike consists of an inflatable paddleboard with an attachable bike frame. The propeller, which moves with the pedals, runs through a well in the board. An electric motor augments the rider’s pedaling, and the higher-tier versions have a couple different motors that you can switch between depending on how much of a workout you want.

The lowest tier version, the Enjoy, has just one motor, while the Fitness has four and the Adventure has two. The Adventure has some other tricks up its sleeve though, including cargo nets, drybags and smartphone and fishing rod holders. Red Shark has yet to comment on pricing, but one retailer in the U.S. is listing all three models at $3,899 for the Enjoy, $4,099 for the Fitness and $4,449 for the Adventure.
