Does anyone here know what manufacturer makes lift/FR motors?
Can somebody give me a link to their website?
Anyone having good/bad experience with certain manufacturers?

That’s kept pretty secret I think. We dont even know which motor is in the fr build.

I personally have the FR motor unit and I have absolutely no complaint. @Flying_Rodeo is super responsive and the motor has been very reliable and performant so far. No modifications are needed, just plug and play!

However we know how it is inside. Rotor: 16 poles (8 pole pairs) - stator = 18 slots. Thanks J.
Tube external dimension: 136 x 68. Thanks P.
It is amazing that after 2+ years, there is no equivalent on the market…

Did anyone try to find a manufacturer who would make custom motors according to their specs for the efoil community?

Hey guys. Is this a Chinese knock off of the FR / Lift motor?

The prop looks somewhat similar but the motor doesn’t look the same at all. I don’t think anyone bought it for science yet lol.

There is a chance…
The housing may be different externally but the inside is probably the exact same…

Thats weird, if they did try to copy it I would suspect that they make the outside look the same and not the inside 🙈

Copper fill is not so good in this motor. I wonder how much it could be improved…
