A vehicle is configured to operate in a first mode in a cantilevered manner from a left side of the vehicle; in a second mode in a cantilevered manner from a right side of the vehicle; and in a third mode in which the vehicle is supported from beneath in a non-cantilevered manner. The vehicle comprises a number of wheel assemblies to facilitate operation in first, second and third modes. The vehicle is configured to navigate between first mode and second mode at junctions offering both options by electing different combinations of wheel engagement and disengagement.
