Two simple chaotic maps without equilibria are proposed in this paper. All nonlinearities are quadratic and the functions of the right-hand side of the equations are continuous. The procedure of their design is explained and their dynamical properties such as return map, bifurcation diagram, Lyapunov exponents, and basin of attraction are investigated. These maps belong to the hidden attractor category which is a newly introduced category of dynamical system.
