Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, Livaq is redefining the off-road vehicle industry with an innovative all-electric approach. As the first company solely dedicated to electric off-road vehicles (ORVs), Livaq is driving a critical shift away from traditional gas-powered machines and toward a cleaner, more efficient future. The company’s mission is to empower adventure through practical, high-performance electric vehicles that blend cutting-edge technology with the rugged demands of off-road use.
At the heart of Livaq’s innovation is the EQUAD — a flagship electric ATV that sets a new standard in the ORV space. Engineered to achieve a top speed of 87mph and a range exceeding 200 miles, the EQUAD appeals to both recreational users and eco-tourism operators seeking reliable, sustainable performance. With advanced suspension, regenerative braking, and a fully waterproof construction, the EQUAD rivals traditional ATVs in power while boasting enhanced durability for extreme conditions. Equally important, the vehicle is 87% more stable than conventional models, addressing long-standing safety concerns within the powersports industry.
Livaq’s journey is rooted in Detroit’s culture of resilience and automotive heritage. Founded by David Medina Álvarez, the venture flourished within a city renowned for its collaborative ecosystem and passion for innovation. This supportive environment propelled Livaq’s early prototype to a pivotal city event in April 2023 and led to securing space at New Lab—a hub that allows around-the-clock access to resources, fostering rapid iteration and creative growth.
What truly distinguishes Livaq is its commitment to modularity and the use of Industry 4.0 technologies, including 3D printing, advanced data analytics, and over-the-air software updates. This forward-thinking approach ensures that each vehicle can be adapted to different terrains, specialized applications, or future upgrades, significantly reducing hardware obsolescence. In parallel, Livaq prioritizes sustainability by incorporating repurposed, forced carbon fiber body panels and an innovative round battery design that maximizes range without sacrificing performance.
From government agencies that manage extensive parklands to eco-tourism operators navigating sensitive habitats, Livaq’s all-electric solutions address some of the most pressing challenges facing the off-road sector today. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its product lineup to serve diverse markets—such as agriculture, forestry, and recreational enthusiasts—while collaborating with partners to establish robust charging and service infrastructure. By placing safety, performance, and environmental stewardship at the core of its business, Livaq is poised to reshape off-road mobility for adventurers across the globe, forging a future where technology and nature coexist in harmony.
