Recreational motorboat
A boat in the 16 ft to under 26 ft range falls within the traditional Class 1 length group. That is a size category, not a CE-equivalent seaworthiness rating.
U.S. registration, safety equipment and operating requirements depend on the boat, location and use.
Two different classifications. CE Category C describes design conditions. The U.S. length group describes size. Neither replaces local navigation rules or the limits in your boat’s manual.
Approximate water speed. Actual performance varies with configuration, load and conditions.

Made for your local life.
Coffee in the neighborhood. A stop at the marina. Dinner by the water. WaterCar’s electric land drive connects the places close to home with your boating day, on roads where LSVs are permitted.

What is an LSV?
LSV means low-speed vehicle. It is a U.S. road-vehicle category with a 25 mph maximum speed and its own federal equipment requirements, including lighting, mirrors, a windshield, seat belts and a VIN.
LSV equipment requirements differ from passenger-car crash-protection standards. WaterCar’s land drive is intended for permitted local routes, not highway driving.
Where can you drive?
State and local rules determine road access. For example, California restricts LSVs from roads posted above 35 mph. Rules for routes, crossings, registration, licensing and insurance vary by location.
Check your intended route with the relevant local authority. U.S. LSV status does not establish road permission in another country.
Going farther? For longer road journeys, talk with us about Tow Mode or arranged transport. On the water, the outboard powers your WaterCar.
