What do you get when you cross a scooter with a Sea-Doo? In Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, you get the “Land-Doo”—a one-of-a-kind custom ride that looks like a personal watercraft but cruises on pavement.
Justin Bonneville built it using a $100 broken personal watercraft, commonly known as a Jet Ski or Sea-Doo, and a high-powered scooter. The idea came after he spotted a similar contraption in Florida and decided to take on the challenge himself.

After 100 hours of work and about $2,500 in parts, Bonneville had a street-legal vehicle complete with working lights, a horn and even a water-squirting tail, just like the real thing.

The Land-Doo draws stares wherever it goes. Bonneville said a few people have already asked if he’d build them one but for now, it’s a one-off.
If you're at the Delaware beaches this summer, keep an eye out. The Land-Doo might just cruise by and spray a little water your way.
