Vehicle configured to operate in a first mode in a cantilevered manner from a left side of the vehicle 100; in a second mode in a cantilevered manner from a right side of the vehicle (100, fig 2); and in a third mode in which the vehicle is supported from beneath in a non-cantilevered manner (100, fig 3). The vehicle includes a left combined lower wheel assembly 210 comprising a lower support wheel 209 and a cantilever wheel 259 and a right combined lower wheel assembly 310 comprising a support wheel 309 and a cantilever wheel 359. Each combined wheel assembly comprises: a first configuration where lower support wheel and the lower cantilever wheel are retracted; a second configuration where the lower support wheel is deployed position and the lower cantilever wheel is retracted; and a third configuration in which the lower support wheel and the lower cantilever wheel are deployed. Each combined wheel assembly is configured transition between the first configuration and the second configuration. The lower cantilever wheel is configured to move translationally relative to the combined wheel assembly to transition between the second configuration and the third configuration. The vehicle may comprise upper cantilever wheels 239, 339.
