Ibiza is no ordinary island. It’s an island to be experienced.
From the southern coves to the winding roads lined with fig trees and stone walls, and the secluded beaches accessible only by narrow paths, Ibiza demands a vehicle that can keep up open, nimble, and capable of everything.
Ibiza: a natural playground for the beach car
In just a few kilometres, Ibiza offers everything that makes an electric beach car indispensable.
The inland roads are narrow and winding, bordered by lush vegetation. Southern coves like Cala Conta, Cala Bassa, and Es Cubells are reached via paths that larger vehicles struggle to navigate.
Typical uses on Ibiza include:
- Coastal roads between Sant Jordi, San José, and the southern coves
- Paths to wild beaches otherwise inaccessible
- Travel between finca, beach, and village
- A relaxed, sun-soaked island lifestyle
The Kate electric beach car is designed specifically for these journeys: it is quiet, lightweight and offers unobstructed views of the landscape. A beach car that the public has dubbed a ‘beach buggy’ due to its open design
The Kate Islander: designed for islands like Ibiza
The Kate Islander is an electric beach car specifically created for island environments.
On an island like Ibiza, coastal vehicles face two main challenges: steep inclines and salty air.
The Kate Islander meets these challenges with:
- Reinforced motor with +30% torque compared to our Cruiser version : perfect for steep roads
- Cataphoretic-treated steel chassis : full protection against sea corrosion
- 235 km range (WMTC cycle) : enough to explore the entire island
- 4 seats, fully customisable
Cataphoresis is an anti-corrosion treatment used by premium car manufacturers. The chassis is immersed in a protective bath that covers the entire structure, including hollow sections. Against the salty Balearic air, it provides structural protection, not just cosmetic.

A beach car built to last and easy to maintain by the sea
Owning a beach car on an island often involves logistical challenges: maintenance far from home, hard-to-find parts, and a vehicle that may sit unused for months before the summer season.
Kate fundamentally changes this equation. Being electric by design, it avoids:
- Oil changes
- Timing belt monitoring
- Carburettor cleaning at the start of the season
Annual maintenance focuses on essentials: brakes, tyres, auxiliary battery, general inspection. The LFP lithium battery self-balances, and a single overnight charge is enough. Winter storage requires just a few simple steps.
Made in France, Kate relies on a network of available spare parts and a service team reachable directly. For a vehicle used on an island, this is peace of mind few other cars in its category can offer.
Why an electric beach car in Ibiza?

What are the differences between Kate and an electric Méhari ?
The Citroën Méhari was built with an ABS plastic body that becomes dull and fades under UV exposure. Its untreated steel chassis rusts over time, especially in seaside environments.
Kate uses a steel chassis treated with cataphoresis, providing full corrosion protection even inside cavities. This is a structural difference, not a cosmetic one.
Regarding the battery, electric Méhari have experienced documented issues with degradation and real world range lower than announced. Kate uses a modern lithium LFP battery designed for longevity.
Finally, the Méhari is no longer produced. Kate is an active manufacturer with accessible after sales service, available parts and a range that continues to evolve.
Kate is also available in Saint-Barthélemy, Portugal, Cap Ferret, and Geneva.
