      If you use it every week, sure. If it's a toy you buy thinking you will use it all the time, and then don't (most people), the lack of required maintenance I am sure is better with this thing. Also, depending on where you are, your neighbours will appreciate it, and often times, that is a quality of life issue :)

    I love the product but here in Canada it's 40k after taxes (roughly $40800) and that's without a trailer or any extras. That's pretty insane for a PWC. I was looking into one (I had a deposit on the snowmobile), but I can get two higher performance machines and a trailer for that price. I'll circle back in time when they're closer to the rest of the industry pricing. I love the quietness, and I'm looking forward to an electric quad in the future as well.

    Interesting - heard about this but first time seeing this in action. Coming from a first time ski owner (VX Cruiser) I'd love to see 2 things improve:
    1 - Range. I'm usually putting 35-45 miles on. 30 would get me nervous and would constantly be in the back of my mind.
    2 - More storage. Looks like I'd be forcing my dry bag in the compartment and the glove box isn't enough for all my usuals (phone, water, binoculars, sunglasses, etc.
    Know it's there first generation so super excited to see them. improve in next 3-5 years!

      Sports action video cameras (Go Pro et. al.) pick up on all of the vibrations as noise, it is that way for EV motorbikes. As a rider you wouldn't be bothered by it, but if another of that vehicle approaches you might get good at identifying it even if it is not very noticeable. The vibration you as a driver/rider feel you'll recognize when you hear it roll up from a distance, if that makes sense, even if you don't hear it from your position on the vehicle. Typical EV stuff... it's pretty wild going to EV track days and being able to pick out where certain cars are on the track by the tire noise and inverter whine.

    Seadoo probably has the 1.6L 300HP Rotax 1630 ACE engine. Probably has more HP than the plane.
    Electric should work pretty well, just get used to the battery life and have power by the dock or yacht. It could have hydrofoils for super cruise. 25kWh today is actually less than 2500$ for the cells so there is really no cost issue with them. I'm guessing Rotax charges at least 10grand for that engine. So the battery could be bigger and it could have more HP if necessary

    Interesting how the power difference doesn't translate to jet, on land even half the power is not like it has half the power, but on water you see it. Also, didn't beat the seadoo on acceleration either and you would think the extra TQ would.. but i guess jet pumps slip anyway...

    Its not there yet. Only 1 1/2 hour run time then you need to charge. If you go out camping or my skies are being used all day by family and friends. So you would need infrastructure at the marine docks to support this type of vehicles. They would also need quick charge capability in order to get back on the water fast. The only way I could see this working is if there were electric boats being sold so you know there were be plenty of charging points on the lakes. Cool idea and cant wait to see this in the future!

    I’ve noticed with the taiga that it doesn’t get maximum speed when the battery has not been used (or charged) for a while. Seems to need to be warmed up a bit to get maximum, a bit like the Tesla drag strip prep. Norma driving does the warmup pretty well. Obviously having a full battery would have helped in the drag race but I’m guessing the seadoo would still have won. I haven’t been able to get my Taiga up to the advertised 60mph so far.

    Nice Super Petrel aircraft. Don’t think it’s a Sea Rey but rather a Super Petrel XP or similar. None the less, good video. Electric will become the future I’m sure, the batteries are the weakest link ATM. As the power output goes up, as will the available amps to be able to provide to these type of vehicles!!

    Problem is, in 5yrs. it will be sitting on a trailer needing a 5-6k battery, and you won't want to put that much into an old ski. Sounds like it's already broken if it can't charge correctly.

      Standard lfp batteries are good for at least 3000 charging cycles. Even if you charge it twice a day you have over 1500 days on the water.. that’s like what, every weekend for the next 15 years or so?

      Your kidding right?
      Tesla batteries cost more than 3/4 of a new car, IF you can get them as tesla won't let you buy them,
      a new ev volvo costs 65k and a new battery for it costs 75k...
      Ev cars battery life performance levels typically measured in months not years,
      And just recently its been announced that ev car insurance is rising exponentially due to charging fires....
      But hey dont give up on ev just yet.... im sure in a decade or 2 they might be viable...😅

    Not every lake is huge up here in Canada so I could see this as a great alternative. Rip for a couple hours before lunch and charge while you eat and then back at her. I’m an electrician so I would have a dock charger quick fast.

    • @polska905
      @polska905 Рік тому +1

      If you rip this thing the battery will be dead in 45 minutes or less, then it's a couple hour charge, that's a pretty long lunch... Imagine family and friends up at the cottage taking turns on it and then having to wait for it to charge, that would get old fast. Summer is short in Canada.

    Reverse is basically rudderless do you have to bring your own paddle when backing up to use as a rudder ? that is no Bueno. There are people that refuse to pay less they think it’s some kind of honor when they way over pay for everything. Their will be people that will buy it because spending three or four times more than everyone else makes them feel superior
