00:00My name is Neil Bouabdallah. I am a brand ambassador at Searider.
00:09I am passionate about vehicles, motorized vehicles of all kinds.
00:14I do motorcycling, I do jet skiing when I have the opportunity.
00:16But my real passion is airplanes, which led me to get my license as a commercial airline pilot.
00:22And with Searider, I just discovered this new vehicle that surprised me.
00:27I've never tried anything like it.
00:31I grew up surrounded by Renault cars.
00:33My father had a Clio 1 and then a Scenic.
00:36My grandfather also had an R19 at night.
00:39And I learned to drive on the white R4 in our farm in Algeria.
00:44So today, being part of Searider and being part of this project in collaboration with Rodo, it's just crazy.
00:51At first glance, the SeaCruiser could look like a jet ski, but they are two completely different vehicles.
01:01Whether it's the driving technique, the sensations, the mechanics.
01:06Already on the vertical plane, with the SeaCruiser, we start from a sitting position.
01:11We have water coming at our waist.
01:13And it's by accelerating that we get out of the water, which gives us sensations on the vertical plane.
01:18And by turning, it's similar to a motorcycle.
01:21You have to lean and turn the handlebars, which makes the machine turn in a longitudinal way.
01:26And it offers a lot more sensations than a jet ski.
01:30Compared to the SeaCruiser motor group, which is electric, you feel the acceleration instantly.
01:38It's a very fun machine to drive.
01:43There is a learning curve.
01:45It's not complicated to use.
01:47If you can ride a scooter, you can drive the SeaCruiser quite easily.
01:55We had to innovate in terms of the frame, in terms of the body kit.
01:59We also have two electric motors that are in the water, so everything has to be waterproof.
02:04It was really complicated, but we managed to do it.
02:10The similarity between the R4 and the SeaCruiser is innovation.
02:14It's an electric product that turns to the future.
02:17It's the spirit of adventure, it's accessibility to the public.
