CHINESE FOILDRIVE assist max 7 LARKY - Alibaba - anyone have it?

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.

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 :slightly_smiling_face:

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
