Thats AUS dollars. Still pricey though. But then again guys pay for ebike batteries and Foil Drive…
Ah you comparing powerpacks. I was looking at power modules.
I assume they have priced to be somewhat competitive to FD in terms of the total kit. But that leads to ridiculous pricing for the battery + ESC. They could have simply just priced at intelligent rates and would have whooped FD out the market.
Where do you guys find riift prices?
In the riift website I can’t find them, at least here from Italy.
Anyone have seen the prices of hub and blades?
Motor?
Super interesting thoughts chaps, hope you get rewarded one day @Jezza and Im fully impressed by your style of low drag innovation @Jan12
Has anyone developed a similar prop for the 5085 as yet DIY that they would share?
It seems Rift get plenty of power/ thrust out of it!
I tried the duotone belt recently on one of their swallow tail boards (that I wasnt super impressed with) and it all worked well, not super light or or a ton run time, cable was too heavy & flappy also. About the same power to weight as my maytech DIY board but I did prefer the weight off the board.
What is this $100 motor these guys are using?
5085 motor.. Flipsky sells one and needs some modifications (cut the shaft)
Thank you. yeah I found the Flipsky motor and based on builders its just not powerful enough. Small people report getting up on big foils. The flipsy report shows 19kg of thrust where Rift reports 30kg and yeah big guys making it work on small foils
70kg, silk 750 and 27l board, I take off even with wind and choppy, 5085 is absolutely perfect for my weight
Thx. Yeah I’m way out of that weight range and the reason I’m looking for info on the rift motor.
@poloswindsurf What esc/vesc do you use, and what kind of propeller?
Sequre 200A, three blades kparts (same as foildrive)
Could you please share your esc settings.
