South African company Unifoil works in collaboration with Canadian inventor Jerry Mcarthur, to launch the Hydroflyer. Mcarthur has a background that familiarizes himself with riding mountain bikes and snowmobiles. Despite being easy to ride, this new electric hydrofoil reaches speeds up to 50km/h and has a two-hour autonomy. Perfect for every type of person at every skill level to enjoy the thrills of high-speed water rides.
By attaching a handlebar to a lightweight carbon fiber foil board, the Hydroflyer creates more stability points for novices to start riding as they get it and for the more experienced to try advanced maneuvers. This leads to a lower learning curve, more speed, more safety for the rider. The Hydroflyer is available for purchase all around the world for a price of U$14,000.
