A dual air-ground operable powered ultralight vehicle comprises a frame and a power apparatus applying power to the propeller and a ground traction element. Attached to the frame is a flexible wing that may allow the vehicle to become airborne when power is applied to the propeller. The wing would be detachable from the frame to allow for ground operations. A power transfer device shifts power of the power apparatus to either the propeller or the ground traction element. The vehicle will fall into the Federal Aviation Authority's Federal Aviation Regulation Part 103, Ultralight Vehicle.
