So China now has a 48 volt foil drive Assist Max replica, I posted on some of the Facebook groups… and got a lot of flack from it was wondering if this thing is total junk or if anybody’s tried it? As I’m currently looking at getting a e-foil assist
I’ve gotten in direct contact with one of the sellers via WhatsApp and had a 40 minute video call with him and he walked me through the product, my concern is water getting into some of these holes… And corrosion.
Some photos of our conversation photos… link to YouTube of person assembly, some other videos of people riding I’ve seen too will post later
Even FD many times treats their users as a diyers. But seems like they provide great support.
These tools has a lot on nuances…
I would either do it myself or better use a product with support. But rather will not start fixing some product.
I was checking these out too and my friend is interested as well. I reached out through WhatsApp and they sent some additional video and pictures. Also would love to see if anyone has bought this! Please post the video of someone riding it!
I’m surprised they can fit a 13S3P 21700 battery pack in there. I may consider this instead of building my own.
I was hoping someone was going to have answered saying they had got one ,I’m in the same boat here 
They have an integrated mast version now, battery, electronics, and motor all integrated. Very interesting!
Not a new concept @RayFoil has been marketing for quite some time now.
Also they refer to the mast as the “pole” etc so that would indicate either a lack of knowledge or attention to detail reading the descriptions.
Check out the profile of the mast LOL. Its is a pole. No specs on battery or motor either.
Mast= “a long upright pole especially for carrying the sails of a ship, an aerial, flag etc.”
You guys are giving a company crap for not translating “mast” perfectly from Mandarin to English. Kind of petty dont you think? Do better!
Well, just buy one and let us know how it works out.
You are entitled to your opinion but then so is everyone else
Hey just curious if anyone has actually ordered or received any products from Seven Larky.
I can not find any reviews or any posts with users actually using their products even though they’ve been selling a version of a foil assist since last year.
Thanks!
There are lots of successful foil assist builds here that are based on acquiring components that are known to work well and assembling them in a manner that is reliable and less expensive than buying brand name.
There are also some examples of people trying to buy “kits” that claim they are just as good or even better than brand name but cost less.
Do some searching and reach your own conclusion as to the wisdom of using the “kit” shortcut.
Of for sure. I’ve actually done some research and am impressed with what I’ve seen folks put together. But seven larky (while I’m sure they have advertised components separately or use diy-er conponants) is actually making several complete foil drive alternatives, like the integrated battery/ mast mentioned in this thread. They have a newer product that utilizes a 45lb thrust motor that has the foil drive form factor. On their website they only sell complete kits, push their products hard on social media, and seem pretty professional however… there is no content or reviews anywhere from real users and they are reluctant to lend gear to creators to get some of this made. So I was just curious if anyone had taken a leap and actually ordered from them yet.
I have the review you are looking for! … and have been to meet the 7 Larky team, tried their gear and ordered a set for myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpaDT7E0LRQ
We also produced the Foil Assist 2, which has been tested by professional players and has received consistent praise. Friends on the forum have discounts, if you are interested, you can check it out. www.yefoil.com
