Foil Drive Batteries
Foil Drive takes customisation to the next level by offering a selection of batteries that allow riders to prioritise either weight and performance or extended runtime.
Our lightweight batteries ensure optimal performance on the water, while our range of airline-friendly options makes it easy to take your Foil Drive system on your next vacation. Choose the perfect battery to suit your foiling style.
Motor Systems
Foil Drive offers a range of Motor Systems. The main two to compare are the Universal Motor System and the Integrated Mast range.
Universal Motor Systems mount externally to any mast and feature a removable cable. This allows you to change between 6 different cable lengths, altering the height of the motor on your mast. Motor heights vary allowing the rider to select an option specific to their foiling discipline or skill level. Cable lengths range from 12cm (4.7") to 70cm (27.5").
Integrated Masts feature collaborative integration with leading foiling brands. Foil Drive has worked together with multiple brands to integrate the motor cable inside the mast. This results in performance increase, drag reduction and overall improved rider feeling. for those wanting a pure foiling ride, you can't go past the Integrated Masts. Note: Motors positions are fixed and cannot be removed.
