Description
The Manta concept is a one person amphibious vehicle designed to have good handling qualities and speed in water. This electric 3 wheeler is perfect for people that live close to a lake and want to make a quick boat ride, without loading and unloading their boat from a trailer. The wheels are designed as blades and can be turned 90° in water to propel the vehicle. The rear wheels are individually powered by electric engines. Because this concept is relatively simple to make, it can be a low cost vehicle that gives the driver great driving sensations.
