I dunno. Not much space per cargo or passenger, & a little bit bouncy and wobbly. That makes it seem more like a sporting activity than a boat.
And for a sport or activity I would prefer a standing foil.
And I'd shop for comparables at less than a 10th of the price.
I do like the two hours of range, the noise, and the low/clean energy consumption.
The all-electric vessel is constructed entirely from carbon fiber, making it strong but also light. This allows it to glide above the water’s wake and travel farther. The single-passenger hydrofoil is propelled by an 18.8 kW electric motor powered by two swappable, 5 kWh 48V battery packs from Torqeedo.
Torqeedo’s 2,900W fast charger also enables the hydrofoil boat to fully recharge in less than two hours, so even if your swapped batteries are depleted, you won’t have to wait too long to get back out and cruise around. Speaking of cruising, the Pegasus offers speeds between 18 and 20 knots (20.7-23 mph) but can reach a top rate of 30 knots (34.5 mph).
Its range can go over two hours on a single charge and according to Foil.One, is as easy as riding a bike. That said, its makers state that being at the helm of the Pegasus feels more like operating a fighter jet than a hydrofoil boat.
The Pegasus electric hydrofoil boat is available for pre-order now and can be personalized and tailored to a customer’s needs. The vessel starts at 139,900 euros ($151,355), but with all-in pricing, including the two battery packs and Torqeedo fast charger, it costs 150,502 euros ($162,825). As promised, you can see the Pegasus electric hydrofoil boat in action in Foil.One’s video below:
