1- Since the battery is swappable from eSurf to eFoil, I would like to know the difference in riding time between one board and the other with similar throttle positions (80% say).
You will notice that they avoid to mention this detail as the efoil efficiency is measured in riding time (1h) whereas the eSurf one is measured in maximum speed (37mph)
2 - This eFoil should work perfectly with the wired remote inherited from the eSurf world, and we can imagine that it should be very useful for the rider’s balance while flying… time for a new practice ?
-
I don’t know exact riding time but it must be around 20-30 mins for jetboard mode and 1 hour for efoil mode.
-
I agree, it must be somewhat easier to turn but lets wait for their tests in the water to see
Very quiet. Direct drive. Skinny motor casing, looks 60mm’ish? Not very long… Hmmm… Big Prop, looks like 150mm? high blade area ratio and quite a pitch on it too. It’s a high torque prop.
Are there any actual videos of the eFoil working? Is it available for sale? My guess is that this is a mockup to show an investor, and the actual configuration that goes to market is going to be different.
I think it’s a fairly blatant copy of the Flite tail, the way it trails under the duct. Its an iconic point of design and a blatant copy just annoys me.

Nice!
It is a very nice design solution to get rid of the hatch and connect straight to the ESC/strut. I wonder how they do the data and power connector interface. Do you have any pictures of this detail?
The front wing attachment looks a bit awkward… would like to have seen, maybe a wider wing and flight style attachment.
Overal looks really good! Would definitely love to try one of these!

Lift war nicht der Erste!
The first to use this solution were Plurato Sailfin from Split Croatia early 2019: https://sailfin.plurato.com/
Its seems that Waydoo with their Flyer One have picked up the best solutions among the competitors.We don’t know much about the battery cell quality though.
Hello SoEFoil,
dont forget the 400cycles is the warranty not the lifespan of the battery! So please dont mix up values. The battery is high quality and can you state what warranty our competitors give for their battery?
What’s the rated lifetime of the battery?
You are right, I misinterpreted the warranty line so I modified my post.
IMHO, we don’t know much / enough.
No, they avoid this particular point. To stand out of the 30+ efoil brand crowd on the market in 2020 and to focus on this important point, could you detail the type of cells your batteries are using ? If you could announce at least 1000 charge cycles, people would feel reassured to not have to spend an extra 2500usd in 18 months time for a new battery.

So once again the 400 cycles is not the lifetime of the waydoo battery, that is much more cycles!
We can publish further details once the CE Certification and approval documents of the battery are ready for publishing as well. So you will have to wait some more weeks for the “look inside”
And to correct you again a new battery is not 2500, it is 1880$.
Please take into account as well that the kickstarter orders start shipping in august.
Selected dealers in Netherlands and Germany already have the first boards to demo, other dealers should get it in July, if the ordered last month.
So best is to wait till July and check the board yourself at the selected dealers, I´m shure this could solve your doubts about the product.
