The Tracksider © is a mix between a Side-by-Side ATV and a Amphibious hunting rover with a hint of tactical vehicle. The initial idea was to design a highly manoeuvrable, amphibious, all terrain hunting vehicle, with an exceptional lateral view. A silent vehicle that could move on land, snow and water…
The Tracksider is powered by a combustion engine connected to a generator and ion-lithium batteries. The 4 independent tracks are driven by electric motors which can rotate over 180 degrees and allow the vehicle to move sideways.
In ‘electric mode’ the Tracksider can move very silently, obviously the vehicle will not be designed to cover great distances on its batteries for weight & cost reasons, but it will have enough capacity to make stealthy approaches if you want to hunt.
The vehicle is amphibious and floats well, Its air intake is located on the roof and the muffler is also high above the water line. Twopropellers located at the rear helps the vehicle achieve a good speed when it’s in the water and chop algae if they start to gather on the sides.
The current images shows a vehicle built for 2 but it could be designed for 4 or 6 people. A single central pillar is used to optimize the side view and the use of binoculars. It’s also easier to get in or out. Storage boxes are integrated on the vehicle’s side for an easier access and reduced accident risk.
Note : I would like to thank Aaron Hugues who created the renderings for this concept!
