An elliptical powered watercraft includes a buoyant platform, a paddle wheel, pedals operatively connected to the paddle wheel, and a skeg, a fin, or a rudder operatively connected to a steering device, such as handlebars or a steering wheel. An operator propels the elliptical powered watercraft by balancing on the buoyant platform, generating rotational movement with the pedals to deliver power to the paddle wheel, and steering the elliptical powered watercraft by turning the skeg, the fin, or the rudder with the handlebars or the steering wheel.

A floating platform dimensioned and configured to receive and transport an automated pool cleaner on the surface of the water is disclosed. For convenience, the floating platform is referred to as a pontoon. The pontoon is also configured to control the retrieval of the pool cleaner. The pontoon includes a buoyant housing having a first end and a second end. An inclined platform ramp is positioned in the pontoon housing at an angle from the first end towards the second end. The pontoon includes a winch for winding and unwinding a cable connected to the pool cleaner to thereby selectively release and retrieve the cleaner.

A plurality of rolling pontoons with or without a plurality of protrusions (paddles) and their use on amphibious vehicles and watercraft. The application of tires, power, suspension, paddle designs, towing apparatus, pontoon geometry and/or a plurality pontoon arrangements that will allow said vehicle to be towed without a trailer, easily and quickly traverse a variety of environments, and/or maneuver a variety ways. The further addition of electric motors, solar panels, and batteries allow efficient electric amphibious vehicle/watercraft and provide battery backup and power for a residence. A method of manufacture is defined with the modular application of said electrical drivetrain to new or existing amphibious vehicles or watercraft.
