The experience
The W1 puts you low and close to the surface, with steering-wheel control and instant electric response. It feels less like operating a machine, and more like becoming part of the water.
Manufacturer-rated figures. Actual speed and ride time vary with rider weight, water conditions, charge level and environment.
Built around the rider
A compact platform designed around one rider and a direct connection to the water.
Sit close to the surface for a more immediate sense of speed, spray and turn-in.
A wheel and a centered riding position make control intuitive from the first ride.
The quick-release battery can be removed and replaced in under 10 seconds.
Compact by design
Why electric
Charge at home, load up and ride, without fuel runs, oil changes or annual engine servicing.
