Water vehicle company Manta has announced the launch of the 'Hydrofoiler SL3' hydrofoil bike, a one-of-a-kind water vehicle that takes the enjoyable on-land experience of riding a bike and transfers it to the water.
The Hydrofoiler SL3 features a unique aircraft-like design; when users kick the vehicle's throttle, its "wings" arise from its body and continue to extend out in relation to how high out of the water it ascends.
“The SL3 was designed with hire operators in mind, and we’ve rolled that through as the standard offering for recreational buyers. For a product to be in the hands of hire and tourism operators, it has to be damn near bulletproof," said a spokesperson from Manta in a recent press statement.
