HYDROFOILER XE-1
World's First Electric Hydrofoil Bike Built for Open Water Exploration
The Manta5 HYDROFOILER XE-1 is a groundbreaking electric hydrofoil bike that combines cycling mechanics with advanced hydrofoil technology to deliver a unique and exhilarating on-water experience. Sharing technology with America’s Cup sailboats, it rises above the water’s surface and reaches speeds of up to 22 km/h with near-silent electric power. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum and carbon fiber, with a modular design for easy transport, the XE-1 is suitable for riders of all training levels across lakes, rivers, and ocean shorelines.
