The beginner model Rider comes with a softboard as a base and starts at 4,999 euros. There is also an inflatable version as well as GRP and carbon versions. The premium model Stellar X starts at 9,190 euros.
How to control the E-Foil
Sifly uses carbon wings and electric motors throttled to five kilowatts. The drive unit is part of the aluminium fuselage, the propeller can be extended with a cage or replaced with a waterjet unit with impeller. The remote control has a finger throttle, the self-developed battery management system monitors batteries (1.6 kWh or 2.3 kWh) with cells from German car manufacturers.
Why the use on yachts is interesting
The new quick-mount mast for a tool-free connection to the board and fuselage is particularly interesting for use on yachts. Clicking and locking tempts you to disassemble, which avoids searching for screws and playing Tetris in the toy garage.
