ENVGO NV1 FOILS!!

⚓️ ENVGO’s NV1 FOILS!!

ENVGO’s NV1 electric hydrofoiling boat has hit an important milestone, completing successful on-water tests and advancing its path to market.

With Ontario’s lakes frozen, co-founder Paul Masojc scouted new locations for winter testing. He selected Badin Lake and Lake Norman in North Carolina for their open water and mild conditions.

The team transported the NV1 to these test sites. There, the NV1 lifted onto its foils and completed runs that demonstrated its design and engineering. The company’s CEO, Mike Peasgood, credited the team’s effort and highlighted the boat’s clean lift and stable ride.

The NV1 is designed to reduce environmental impact while delivering strong performance on the water. Its hydrofoiling design allows for efficient travel with zero emissions—an appealing combination as interest in sustainable marine tech grows.

ENVGO recently became the first Canadian company to win a Gustave Trouvé Award for Excellence in Electric Boats and Boating. This recognition reflects industry support for their approach to innovation and design.

Great progress is being made in bringing this boat to market. With real-world tests underway and a committed team at the helm, the NV1 continues to set the pace in electric boat development.

🌊 ⚓️ 🏄🏾‍♂️⚙️🛝🖌️📅📄 TWO DIFFERENT MODEL DELIVERIES

Canadian-based Voltari showed off two model versions in recent weeks.

The first, via the Instagram post below, is from the final day of training in Halifax for the Voltari Patrol 26 CC for the Canadian Coast Guard!

And, second (also via Instagram below), the Voltari Patrol 26 with a closed crew cabin. Amazing to see more commercial service applications for eBoats!

🏄🏾‍♂️A LITTLE HELP FOR SUPS!

Bixpy, a company specializing in water propulsion systems, offers the Bixpy K1 (for the Canadian market), an electric motor designed to enhance stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experiences. This compact motor provides paddlers with additional speed and range, making it a valuable accessory for both recreational and professional users.

The Bixpy K1 motor weighs 2.8 pounds and measures 9 inches in length, ensuring minimal impact on board performance. It delivers up to 38 pounds of thrust (depending on battery), allowing SUPs to reach speeds of up to 7 miles per hour, depending on board type and load. The motor operates efficiently, offering up to 80 minutes of continuous use at top speed and extending to 12 hours at lower speeds.

The kit includes a choice of two lithium-ion batteries that are sealed, rechargeable, and waterproof, weighing 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms). These batteries are designed for marine environments and provide reliable power across various conditions. Users control the motor via a wireless remote, which offers eight forward speeds and three reverse speeds, enabling precise adjustments to match paddling needs.

Installation of the Bixpy K-1 motor is straightforward, facilitated by an adapter that attaches to the fin box of most SUPs. This design allows for quick setup without significant modifications to the board. The motors waterproof rating of IP68 ensures durability and resistance to water ingress during use.

Incorporating the Bixpy K-1 motor into a SUP setup can significantly enhance the paddling experience by providing additional propulsion, aiding against currents, and reducing fatigue during longer excursions. This motor is suitable for various water conditions, from calm lakes to coastal environments.
