Man comes up with many strange things. In fact, there are so many of them that they are no longer unusual at all, or will become completely common over time. This also applies to sports, where soccer still reigns supreme. In recent years, we've witnessed many rumblings, but we haven't seen cyclists on the water yet, is that right? At least not the ones we're going to present to you now.
In a New Zealand company Manta 5 were designed and manufactured Hydrofoiler XE-1, speedboat bike, which will take you over waves instead of over grass and stubble.
It is actually about electric bike with propeller. 400 watt motor it is more than powerful enough, but at the same time quiet enough not to disturb the environment. The 'water bike' consists of carbon fiber, which enable firmness, but at the same time low weight. While driving, you will be able to change the driving mode yourself, you can leave the driving entirely to the engine or operate the pedals yourself. A propeller will help you 'fight' against the current when driving down the river or it will offer just the right thing acceleration on the calm surface of the lake. The motor is powered by a battery that enables an hour of aquatic pleasures.
Hydrofoiler XE-1, which weighs 20 kilograms, you will easily put it in the trunk, because it to disassemble into several parts. The price of the bike has not been determined yet, so Christmas wishes will have to wait a little longer.
