Kawasaki is trading two wheels for four … legs?

The Japanese manufacturer, best known for its motorcycles and watercraft, confirmed last month that it will put its wild Corleo ATV concept into production, according to New Atlas. The company is aiming to have its futuristic, horse-like vehicle out in the world by 2030.

The announcement comes less than a year after the Corleo made its debut at Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai. At the time, the ridable four-legged robot was pitched as a “2050 concept model” in the convention’s “Future Life Expo: Future City” exhibit. But, after the prototype garnered over 1 billion social media impressions, Kawasaki decided it was time to speed that timetable up dramatically.

The Corleo looks like any other ATV you’ve ever seen. That’s because the vehicle has two sets of legs, which, thanks to a swingarm mechanism derived from a motorcycle, function independently of one another with the rear absorbing shock. This allows the Corleo to navigate rough and uneven terrain is a way similar to a horse. The saddle, meanwhile, is positioned between the sets of legs, just like it is on the actual animal.

Last spring, Kawasaki said that the robotic quadruped was powered by hydrogen stored in a canister located in the rear of the vehicle. The latest announcement doesn’t include any more details about fueling, other than to say that it uses a “hydrogen engine” to “generate electricity.”

Kawasaki says it has established a new group to develop the production version of the Corleo, which it is calling the SAFE ADVENTURE Business Development Team. The company says that it plans to have the vehicle finished and ready for action in time for the next World Expo, which will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2030. The vehicle isn’t just being built for use at that convention, though. Kawasaki has an eye towards selling it as a commercial vehicle by 2035.

Four years may seem like a long time, but luckily, those eager to ride Corleo won’t have to wait quite that long. Kawasaki plans to release a simulator that will let users virtually ride the horse-like vehicle sometime next year.
