The Nihypuid (Runabout) was designed to satisfy the military’s need for a vehicle with the same general physical dimension as popular ATV's but able to handle a payload as well as a crew of up to three. The Nihypuid showcases exceptional reliability, stability, rugged endurance, speed, power, and unique operator protection.
The Nihypuid is multi-mission configurable and easily deployed to operate easily in any terrain or climate. Purpose built, to overcome the severe limitations of generic ATVs regarding operator safety, vehicle reliability, rugged endurance and operator control.
The Nihypuid is not a recreational ATV modified for military use. For example, the Nihypuid is designed so that it can be operated with one hand and driven like a car. This contrasts with an ATV, which requires the operator to straddle the machine, steer with handlebars, use both hands to control brakes and throttle, and use his body to maintain stability.
