Now let’s talk about Fliteboard efoil

LiftFoil

FliteBoard

In the days when there was no wind, David (CEO of Fliteboard) thought of an electric hydrofoil and researched 20 prototypes with his friends. His goal soon is to develop the first electric hydrofoil with a hull motor. Which was started as an interesting project and it has now developed into the complete beginning of the Fliteboard version.

David has established two successful companies and eventually hired hundreds of employees, but Fliteboard was the most difficult process. The focus of the first few months was on the development process, and hundreds of hours were spent in front of the computer to determine the exact requirements. The instrument panel, metal foil, gearbox, battery, and remote control are challenging hardware and software projects.

The Flite electric seaplane was delivered to some beta users at the end of 2018. And pre-orders have been started in April 2019.

Fliteboard Air

There are three variations of Fliteboard-

The Fliteboard Air– This model is the largest wooden board, measuring 198 cm in length and 76 cm in width. This is an inflatable board. It has a larger volume, so it is easier to stand, but compared to the carbon fiber model, it has more resistance on the water surface. Once you get used to sliding, you can switch to the standard model more easily. Air is the ideal choice for yacht owners and renters.

Fliteboard (standard) – The standard model is suitable for most riders. The efoil is 71 cm wide and 172 cm long. It has a carbon-fiber body and is available in black, white, and gray.

Fliteboard Pro- This is shorter, with a length of only 152 cm and a width of only 62 cm. It is designed for lighter riders to achieve higher speeds and more aggressive sculpting. It also has a carbon fiber body and is available in black, white, and gray.

All models use the same modular components as the masts, which are 60 cm and 75 cm in length. A shorter neck is easier for beginners, while a larger neck is better for turbulent water and fierce turns. Both sizes are available in aluminum or black.

Batteries

There are also two types of batteries- there is a sports version, which is lighter, but less autonomous. There is also a cruiser version, which is about 350 Euros more expensive. For most cyclists, the largest ride is probably the best option because it takes an hour. You also have 2 fender options- cruiser wing and smaller wing, which increases the speed up to 40 km/h.

Flite features

One of the unique features of virtual equipment (launched in the spring of 2019) is that can be customized with the remote control. It has 20 gears to limit the maximum speed. This is useful for beginners because once they find the right speed; they can always pedal without worrying about maintaining a constant speed.

Remote control

The remote control’s screen is very bright, telling you speed, distance traveled, battery level, and warning if something goes wrong. It is of course waterproof and is fastened to the wrist with a small strap. When the Bluetooth connection is interrupted, your “virtual seat belt” will automatically stop.

If you fall into the water, this will happen immediately. The dashboard must also be assembled with the remote control. To do this, lean it against the sensor on the top of the dashboard and pull the trigger for 5 seconds. This is to protect you in case you accidentally pull the trigger before you are ready to drive. Accessories include 3 pockets, a Whiteboard bag, remote control bag, aluminum foil, mudguard, charger and tools, and battery box.

Fliteboards Controller

According to Trewern, Fliteboard electronics will be updated via Bluetooth through the Fliteboard app, which will be available soon, and other electric hydrofoil manufacturers (such as Lift Foils) will also be available, including GPS and data loggers, passengers can be used to upload and share rides. Second, they can view system statistics and send diagnostic information to Fliteboard.

Virtual Gears

The handheld controller uses Hall sensors to achieve precise throttle response and proprietary software functions such as “virtual gears.” The system provides constant power, so the driver can focus on balance instead of the throttle. The fan of the virtual gear is really helpful at the beginning, but after 1-2 hours, you usually switch to the top gear to flexibly deal with wind and waves in the water.

Safety

It also includes safety functions that are not on other cards, such as Automatic shutdown and electromagnetic arming. It’s like a virtual belt. This means that you must first ensure that the propeller is on the dashboard and ready for use before you can start the propeller. The security of system disabling is very important, no doubt.

However, after a while, advanced riders can put the boards together when they experience frustration. The process is as follows- You need to connect the remote control to the sensor on the top of the board, and then depress the accelerator pedal for 5 seconds to start the engine. Some people like this extra layer of security, while others may not.

The GPS-based onboard computer monitors the Flite Cell smart battery and provides real-time traffic data such as distance and remaining time. It also includes an efficiency optimization screen that passengers can use to minimize energy consumption.
