context_page_description: Sealegs Amphibious Craft are a type of amphibious vehicle manufactured by Sealegs International Ltd, a company based in Auckland, New Zealand. Sealegs craft are aluminium fabricated boats fitted with either a hydraulic amphibious system or an Electric amphibious system. Both amphibious systems consist of three wheels – one fitted to the bow and two fitted to the transom of the craft. In craft with the Hydraulic system, these wheels are lifted, lowered and driven by the hydraulic system which is powered by a petrol engine mounted on the deck, In craft with the Electric system, the wheels are equipped with brushless high-torque electric motors, and powered by a central 48-volt 7-kWh lithium battery pack.
  Sealegs began production in 2005, and as of September 2015 the company had sold 1000 units into 50 countries.
  Sealegs craft can travel up to 39 knots on water and up to 7.5 km/hr on land.
  The craft are used in both recreational, and commercial applications worldwide. The commercial applications include but aren't limited to Rescue/response, patrol, and tourism, in the USA, Malaysia, Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand.
