It Doesn’t Take a Miracle to Drive on Water
Not everyone can walk on water, but anyone can drive in water. Amphibious vehicles make this possible. They are designed to travel on both land and water. Although amphibious vehicles have been around for a while, you don’t see them every day.
Amphibious vehicles include cars, trucks, buses, ATVs, military vehicles, boats, and even bikes. The idea for amphibious travel was conceived as far back as 1770. Since then, there have been creative and innovative displays of boats, buses, trucks and armoured military amphibious vehicles in use.
More recently, brands such as Lazareth and Amphicruiser are making trends. They have successfully perfected the art of driving on land and water in the same vehicle. From car/SUV to boat; land to water; driver to captain, it is quite the adventure.

With the Moke Lazareth Amphibie, you can enjoy quite the experience. It is a cute, stylish and classic compact craft. This vehicle is a cross between a jeep, a golf cart and a dinghy. The original idea of the Moke was an effort by the British Motor Corporation to convert the Mini into an off-the-road vehicle. These vehicles later became beach buggies, used in seaside town resorts.
Lazareth, however, further developed the idea by creating a vehicle than can drive from the shores into the water itself. The Lazareth brand is renowned for cutting edge and highly creative innovations. Ludovic Lazareth, the man behind the brand is a French designer, creator and trainer of cars, bikes and tricycles. His company produces custom-made vehicles for any type of use.
The Moke Lazareth Amphibie uses a 400 cc single-cylinder and water-cooled engine. This engine creates 19 horsepower for road drive and 6 horsepower from the propeller when in the water. The vehicle has the capacity to create 90 km/h on the road and 8 km/h in water. On land, it also enjoys automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive.
