This light quad is a beach vehicle designed for lifeguards responsible for watching over the coastline.

The idea was to design a frugal vehicle in the spirit of the Méhari or the Rodeo: simple, robust, stripped back to the essentials, and perfectly at home on the sand.

Its large tyres keep it from sinking into the sand, and their treads leave a message with every pass.

The rotomoulded plastic body also serves as a lookout: the lifeguard can stand on it to watch over the beach.

The vehicle carries all the lifeguards' equipment, first-aid bag and rescue tube, plus a stretcher to carry an injured person.
