Co-founder Capt. Andy Langesfeld and Steve Tice, founder of QuantumWorks, have teamed up to develop this product line to fill a void in the marketplace, starting first with the Trident LS-1. This line of next-generation, small-to-midsize amphibious vehicles will have a range of applications and markets, spanning recreation, adventure, personal & commercial transportation, as well as search-and-rescue.

Growing Amphibious Demand Due to Climate Change

Our world as we know it is changing, bringing water levels and flooding right onto our streets and doorsteps. In order to keep up with climate change humans will need to adapt quickly to the challenges we expect to be facing. 

*The above vehicle shown is not an amphibious vehicle and was not developed by Poseidon AmphibWorks.

A sea level rise of 1-8 feet is predicted by 2100, and some say that could happen as soon as 2050 (source, source). Flooding is happening more often and in places that historically might not have been flooded before (source).

As the number of wetland areas rise, vehicle owners are looking for solutions. Having an amphibious vehicle that can serve as a household's recreational vehicle could become a lifesaver when the unexpected happens, however current vehicles within the market offer sub-optimal marine performance and are only legal for off-road use.

Enter Poseidon AmphibWorks.

Road and Water Capabilities Combined Into One Vehicle

Our goal is to produce fast and highly efficient road & water electric vehicles unique in the market today and to usher in a paradigm shift for transport, recreation, business, and government applications. To do so, meet the first vehicle in the pipeline: the Trident LS-1.

Product is still currently under development including the overall styling.

Short for “Land and Sea,” the Trident LS-1 is a patent-pending, electric amphibious 3-wheeler designed to be more efficient in all aspects than current electric boats.

Capable of seating 3+ people, the Trident LS-1 will be a highway road-legal autocycle with integration of high performance hydrofoil marine capabilities for water travel. Additionally, the modular deck supports use cases such as recreation lounging, transport of various sized supplies, and even special handicap provisions. This combination of features and performance for our first vehicle is unique, and to our knowledge no other vehicle exists like it today.

The multi-motor design of the LS-1 powertrains will allow for some interesting features. For example, for marine travel, station keeping, rudderless operation, and lower-speed lift up on foils of the vehicle, are just some of the planned possible functions. For land operation, all-wheel drive, torque vectoring, and torque vectoring-enabled power assist steering (to benefit smaller, more efficient power assist module) will be included. 

Safety features like seat belts and blind spot cameras will be included, exceeding what is required by both road and marine governmental agencies as well as what other Autocycle OEMs are offering.

The Trident LS-1 will be capable of lifting out of rough water fast. “Fly over the waves” to avoid wave-induced bumps and enjoy a smooth ride, equipped with true fly-by-wire steering. With our patent pending foil innovations, the Trident will lift out of the water at a lower speed than equivalent foil-enabled craft. 

Getting the boat to lift from the water and “fly” on hydrofoils will be handled by the onboard flight control system, and once on foils, the boat will maintain stability under computer “flight” control. Smartphone charging, 12VDC, and 110Vac device power supplies, certified for marine use, will be included. More features will follow, as the LS-1 will be upgradeable Over-The-Air (OTA).

The LS-1 design optimizes efficiency both on-land and in-water to get the most range and performance from a proven, commercially-sourced battery system, with the basic vehicle model targeting the average outdoor adventure consumer. Previous amphibious attempts could only be afforded by very wealthy individuals.

Our vehicles will be able to enter and exit the water using any regular public boat ramp as well as other hard packed, gently-sloped shore lines, providing alternative routes, opening possibilities to new destinations, as well as bypassing stifling traffic in many cities that represent untapped transportation routes. Popular boat ramp navigation apps such as "Marine Ways" will make navigation from ramp to ramp a breeze. Additionally, users will have access to OTA updates and remote performance & systems monitoring, all while charging at home or at Level 1, 2 and DC Fast Charge charging stations.

Like Tesla Motors, a first mover in the electric road vehicle space, our business model will consist of direct-to-consumer sales of vehicles. 

Later commercial versions will also be sold directly to user groups like search-and-rescue teams, fire departments, military & coast protection, and limo & taxi fleets.

Filling a Void in the Marketplace

In 2021, the value of the Global Amphibious Vehicle Market was close to $3B, with projections that the market is expected to hit $4.71B in 2027 (source). Similarly, the related Global UTV/ATV Market is valued at $7.6B in 2017 and is expected to exceed $12B by 2027 (source).

*Information based on internal research conducted by company when paired with additional statistics (source)

As COVID introduced a new wave of outdoor activity and increase in camping, bicycling, and other adventure vehicles (source), we expect the market trends to continue into the untapped category of amphibious vehicles. 

Amphibious vehicles are needed for a range of real-world operations, from taxi shuttles to military, tourism, and even as a dual purpose yacht tender connecting yachts with an easy transport option to shore, where these vehicles then effortlessly become a very capable and street legal vehicle. Our combination of features uniquely solves the demand vacuum.

Up to this point, we believe that past suppliers have failed to create efficient,  affordable and reliable products, and even today, nobody is currently supplying 3+ passenger recreational or commercial amphibious vehicles that meet our standards of on-water performance and meet U.S. marine & highway regulations. Past amphibious vehicles have been inefficient, expensive, maintenance intensive, and ran off fossil fuels. 

By being entirely electric and an “autocycle,” the Trident LS-1 will have a lower drag both on the water and the road, also benefiting from reduced crash requirements (meaning reduced investment required) of 4+ wheeled road vehicle regulations. 

On the water, the Trident will automatically offer several levels of redundancy and safety, going into “limp mode” (lower speed to preserve remaining battery energy) to extend range, with additional REX (range extender) options available for those that require longer range and operational flexibility.

With our strategically-structured team, our focus on abiding by all existing regulations from the start, and our affordable price point, Poseidon AmphibWorks is expecting to be a market breakout.
