Problem
The best outdoor adventures combine experiences on water, land, and staying in the wilderness overnight. Currently, there is no product that supports all 3 experiences in a single vehicle.
SOLUTION
BeTriton is an Amphibious Camper-Trike that offers freedom to travel continuously both over land and water. The product is a fully electric Recreational Vehicle that combines three functions – a hard-top motor boat, cargo tricycle, and tiny camper that provides shelter for two people. This is a completely new 3-in-1 concept providing a fully continuous and immersive outdoor travel experience.
KEY CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
BeTriton’s solution targets both B2C and B2B audiences. For B2C, they target outdoor-focused people of various age groups seeking novel experiences. Additionally, they target a DIY crowd who want to build their own products as we're developing an IKEA-like kit to cater to a wider audience with simplified design, accessible pricing, and easy shipping. For B2B, they target outdoor equipment rental companies, as well as resorts and hotels.
They have 160 paid pre-orders, masses of global media attention (google BeTriton), dealership requests, and partnership requests for B2B rentals. They have built a number of prototypes and the first one is already a museum piece in Germany (Deutsches Museum). BeTriton is currently building 5 units for rentals/pilots for B2B clients in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Latvia.
Team
The team behind BeTriton consists of six employees, all close to or more than 40 years old, with masses of international experience within differing fields.
Unique selling point
BeTriton offers a completely new and unique experience revolutionizing how people can explore and spend time in nature.
Asia Connection
BeTriton’s founder and CEO cycled a distance of more than 30,000 km from London to Tokyo, on a journey that brought him through Far East Asia, including India, Myanmar, Singapore, Vietnam, China, and more. He has worked as a designer and has working and living experience in both Singapore and Shanghai. The company has already an impact investor onboard, Taizo Son (Mistletoe, Singapore and Japan), and together they have a shared mission to change the world for a better future.
The company is looking for funding and distribution partners from across the East Asian region.
