Key Features
GAME CHANGING EASE OF USE - Become a confident rider in minutes
Manta5 built in a range of newly patented easy launch tech that means new riders can now become confident riders in a matter of minutes, not hours.
40 minutes – The average learning curve from a self selected group of 35 first time test riders.
PATENTED EASY LAUNCH TECHNOLOGY™
If you can ride a bike and swim, you can ride a Hydrofoiler.
Easy Mount Chassis
Composite monocoque chassis with new floatation and improved mounting ergonomics, combined with the Fixed Chord (FC2) foil keeps the bike floating upright when stationary.
Throttle Only Launch
The easiest launch ever. Launch and coast without the need to pedal. With a single finger on the throttle, you’re in the water and good to go.
Pitch Perfect Tiller
Drastically reduces the chance of stalling mid launch. The new tiller automatically locks at the perfect angle for take off, and automatically releases once up and foiling.
A THROTTLE THAT THRILLS - Introducing the Ride Controller & Throttle
A finger on the trigger is all it takes to launch, accelerate and maintain flight at top speeds. A whole new thrilling way to experience foil biking.
Safety Features
A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE
The SL3 is tougher and more reliable in the hardest of marine environments.
Hydropack batteries
Dual waterproof layers of protection with a transparent outer housing (pictured above).
Ride display
Track vital ride metrics like battery life.
Propeller shroud
An added layer of protection around the propeller.
Tilt Sensors
Instantly cuts power to the propeller as soon as a fall is detected.
Easy Launch Technology
Easy to mount and incredibly stable once up and foiling.
EASY TRANSPORT - Modular design
New toolless quick connection points for easy assembly. More modular for compact transport and handling.
Shipping
Breaking down into five smaller assemblies the accessibility to standard freight carriers is now possible, increasing the options for speedy delivery.
In-vehicle
Fits in any vehicle with the seats down or in the boot space of larger SUV vehicles.
To the water
Carry the modules by hand and assemble waterside using toolless quick connection points.
Storage
Reduced storage requirements. Suitable for yachts and other vessels where space saving is crucial.
Tech Specs
Ride duration - The longest ride duration of any electric foiling product on the market.
Speed
Speeds vary based on ride conditions, rider weight & ability.
Coming soon: Speed foil & propeller targeting increases to top end speed
Top-end speed: 20 kph | 12 mph
Cruising speed: 11 kph | 7 mph
Minimum speed: 6 kph | 4 mph
Chop and swell capabilities
Handles rolling swell and choppy conditions. The SL3 ‘slices’ through tougher conditions than conventional SUPs, kayaks and most personal watercraft.
Hire market durability
New hardwearing monocoque chassis, a new robust drivetrain and fully sealed gearboxes are designed with commercial hire operators in mind.
Transport
The Hydrofoiler SL3 features quick connection parts that breaks the bike into 5 sub-assemblies. Transport in car and carry to the water by hand.
Maintenance
Ultra low maintenance, no high wear drive components like on most bicycles.
Simple hose wash down after salt water riding.
Access for servicing/replacing modules requires less tools. Further modularity built in to sub-assemblies for affordable repair – when a fault occurs the replacement is of the affected module, not the whole assembly.
