🏄🏾‍♂️ EFOIL

Fliteboard has introduced an exciting new addition to the world of water sports with the launch of the Flitescooter, an electric hydrofoil designed to make the exhilarating experience of eFoiling accessible to everyone, including beginners and families. This innovative product, with its removable handlebars, combines the ease of a scooter with the thrill of flying over water, providing a unique and engaging way to engage with the marine environment.

The scooter mode, which limits speed to 15 mph, allows for easy cruising and a comfortable learning curve for those new to eFoiling. An added layer of safety is provided by the wireless safety key that uses Bluetooth technology to cut off power if the rider falls off, ensuring an immediate stop to the Flitescooter.

Technical specifications of the Flitescooter reveal its suitability for a wide range of users. It features a generous buoyancy of 225 litres, ensuring stability even when stationary, and comes equipped with a short 60 cm mast and the 1800 Cruiser Jet wing for added safety and ease of use. The scooter's dimensions make it both comfortable and manageable for riders of various skill levels. The integration of the standard Flite remote control into the handlebar grip allows for intuitive speed control, similar to operating an electric jet ski, including a safety pin on the wrist that stops the motor in case of a fall.
