thanks, will try to make an appointment for a demo. sorry, on the “not very popular” remark, yes you are right, was meaning from an online point of view. But I know the online hype doesn’t mean everything in term of the actual product quality.
There’s no better way to determine if its good besides a demo.

Nop, Lipo is not safe, also the lifespan for Lipo is only 300+ cycles, if you read the features I posted carefully I’ve already posted the information on our battery tech above. Not sure about Duotone claiming to be the first but Sky is the first ever to post a video online and gain popularity. He was also actively promoting in in the past two years. He was from Maui, and he also got his Maui foilers to like the idea. He is also an Armstrong rider.

I’m not being funny, but I just looked at the prices of Manta’s set up and I nearly fell of my chair at the prices for the batteries - these are relatively small (up to 10ah if my math is right) and are not expensive as raw cells - where does an extra 1300 eu come from for an endurance battery? I know there are r and d costs and the shells may cost a bit but that’s nuts pricing -or am i missing something here? enlighten me please…

I will! There’s an offer for the Starter Kit on the Endurance batterie, it’s at € 1,068 inc. VAT.

For the pricing, in all transparency: count the cost of distribution (making it available in shops near people, so they can try it, and shops need to make a living) + super expensive shipping in 2026.
And yes, all the R&D/Certification costs etc.

Same thought. I can explain: Buffer for “cost of living”, buffer for inflation, buffer for Hormuz, buffer for greed(x5) + buffer for buffer. So you pay 5x the production cost. And once the world problems are solved and the prices of external factors (like shipping etc) drop, the profit tasted so good that the unit prices will definitely go up a bit too. Sorry, see it too much, all justified and supported by end users that obviously have money to burn or have a business with similar ethics.
