Tarform is perhaps best known for its land-roving 'Luna' electric motorbike, but the company is looking to take its technological and design prowess into the water with the launch of the 'Raye,' a personal watercraft that is completely electrically powered.
The 'Raye' is a personal watercraft that is fitted with a fully electric water jet propulsion mechanism that is capable of enjoying a top speed in the region of 80 km/h.
Interestingly, this personal watercraft will also feature some of the highlight elements for which the 'Luna' electric motorbike was so vaunted. These include machine learning, over-the-air software updates and embedded sensor technologies.
Tarform has indicated that the 'Raye' personal watercraft will be made available in either plant-based composite or recycled carbon fiber variants.
