Imagine driving down the highway in a sophisticated electric car. Along the way, I started to want to skim the waves as I crossed. With the Trident LS-1, it’s not just a fantasy, it’s a reality. This innovative car-boat hybrid is set to revolutionize the way we think about transportation by providing seamless land and water travel in one vehicle.

How does a car-boat hybrid work?
The Trident LS-1 (L for land, S for sea) is a three-wheeled vehicle that can run on land and launch directly into the water from a launch pad. You don’t need a trailer, so there’s no hassle. Equipped with an electric motor, it provides sustainable zero-emission driving.
It also features hydrofoil technology with blades or vanes that allow it to rise approximately 3 feet above the water, reducing drag at sea and providing a smoother ride. Since the hull is above the water, turning is also stable.

How fast does a car/boat hybrid go?
The Trident LS-1 can travel up to 35 mph on water and 15 mph without hydrofoils. It can handle waves up to 4 feet, making it ideal for coastal trips. On land, it can reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour. What’s even more surprising is that the Trident LS-1 is designed to prevent seasickness caused by the erratic movement of the ship on the water.

How are vehicles classified?
The Trident LS-1 is classified as a motorcycle/two-wheeler, which simplifies the regulatory and registration process. Anyone with proper boat registration and driver’s license can ride car boats and hybrid boats. No special license required.

Where can I park my car?
This vehicle is only 7 feet long, so it can easily fit in your garage. This was what the engineering company wanted. You also don’t need a tow vehicle that can fall into the water when launching your boat.
