Vehicle model
Ligier Gamme Ligier - utilitaires ou VUS
Ligier's utility lineup, marketed under the Ligier Professional banner, groups light utility quadricycles, mainly the Pulse family (Pulse 2, 3, and 4). These are not SUVs in the North American sense, but small, compact, fully electric work vehicles designed for tradespeople, industry, and public bodies (town halls, hospitals, technical services). Their main strength is modularity: thanks to a system of interchangeable accessories, a Pulse 4 goes from a dump bed to a van, a tilting flatbed, or a refuse box in a few minutes. Available in a short license-free version (L6e) or a more powerful version requiring a license (L7e/N1), these utility vehicles target urban travel, closed sites, and last-mile logistics. This lineup targets the European market; in Quebec, these vehicles are neither distributed nor approved for everyday road use. On the tire side, these are small utility sizes; check the exact size on the sidewall, and favor winter tires for any use in snow.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Ligier sont des quadricycles légers : ils chaussent de petits pneus et de petites jantes, avec des diamètres typiquement de l'ordre de 13 à 15 pouces, sensiblement plus modestes qu'une automobile classique. Les dimensions exactes dépendent du modèle et de l'année; il faut toujours vérifier la taille inscrite sur le flanc du pneu et l'entraxe de la jante avant tout achat. Ces véhicules étant pensés pour le marché européen et quasi absents au Québec, l'offre de pneus et de jantes adaptés y est limitée. Pour un usage hivernal québécois, des pneus d'hiver homologués restent essentiels sur la neige et la glace, mais la disponibilité de tailles spécifiques peut être restreinte.
