Historically speaking, attempts to make amphibious vehicles have typically not caught on. That's what makes Gibbs Sports Amphibians such an exception. It's given us the Aquada roadster, the Humdinga truck and the Quadski ATV.
Customers who wanted the latter but wanted to take a friend along for the ride, however, may have been disappointed by the Quadski's solo seat, but now Gibbs has followed up with the new Quadski XL.
With nearly a foot of extra wheelbase, the Quadski XL packs seating for two along with more storage, all the while offering a more comfortable ride on land and increased stability on the water. Like the existing Quadski, the new XL is built around a composite hull with a 1.3-liter four-cylinder motorbike engine from BMW Motorrad producing 140 horsepower to propel the amphibian to a top speed of 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) – on land or water.
