Amphibian-Quadski ATV

The Idea of a universal vehicle for many years to agitate the minds of the best engineers of our planet. The American company Gibbs Sports Amphibians after 15 years of hard work introduced a novelty in engineering – kvadrotsikl (amphibious-ATV) Quadski.

The name of this apparatus is received from the merge of two English words: quad (ATV) and the jetski (brand name jet ski), that is, the Quadski – kvadrotsikl. Immediately it becomes clear the purpose and functions of the machine – moving by land (including off-road) and on the water surface.

Strength and durability for extreme use

Amphibious ATV, Quadski was designed with high loads in extreme driving. The machine frame is made of durable plastic material with high wear resistance and providing protection of components and assemblies from moisture. As the material of the frame and most of the suspension elements selected wrought aluminum, which with its relatively low weight, gives the construction the necessary rigidity and strength.

ATV amphibious vehicle with their hands – a dream or reality? Taking the above into consideration, and the fact that the development of this machine from the leading foreign engineers took more than a dozen years, you can come to the following conclusion: to make the zero-kvadrotsikl or convert from ATV in his garage, “knee” most people are unlikely to succeed. So it is better to learn it from the company GIBBS.
