Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE-1 is the world’s first water-bike that replicates the cycling experience, on water. The XE-1 all terrain hydrofoil bike can cruise through choppy waters, carve up oceans and relax on the river.
The Hydrofoiler has been in production for seven years and went through seven prototypes before Manta5 arrived at the finished product.
The carbon-fiber reinforced nylon propeller produces thrust at low speeds and reduces drag at top speed powered by a lithium ion battery that lasts up to an hour of ride time this battery can be easily removed and charged from a standard outlet which takes about five hours an onboard heads-up display shows battery level distance and speed which caps out at 13 miles per hour or 21 kilometers per hour propelled by a 460 watt brushless ebike motor three levels of assistance are available to the rider.
You can ride on oceans, rivers and lakes, handling moderate chop and swell. The front tiller section of the Hydrofoiler self-levels and help to punch through chop and over swell as you ride.
Bike Material Details:
Strengthened carbon fibre which is set with high performance epoxies (front and rear hydrofoils)
Aircraft grade TIG welded 606-T6 aluminium (frame)
Vacuum formed ASA plastic (buoyancy modules)
All fixtures have been designed and made to avoid corrosion.
Price = $8,990.00 as of 12/3/22 on their website

★★★ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES ★★★
1) If you stop peddling you sink and drown – For all those people who think this, you clearly did not watch the video, the bike floats, and most of the time when you start off riding the bike you will be in deep enough water to get going, you simply hop on the bike while it's underwater and start peddling and you come to the surface, like it was shown in the video. Plus the only way you would drown is if you can't swim in the first place.
2) If it's an e-bike why do they have to pedal? – I know American have e-bikes like scooters, just twist the throttle and go, but in some countries e-bikes can only be Pedal Assist, which means the motor does nothing unless you are pedalling first.
I can hear the cycling community hooting and hollering right now. Looks like so much FUN and you don't even need to know how to surf!!!
7.000€ per quella idiozia??? Perciò non se ne vede una in giro (ed abito in una famosa località turistica sul mare)!!!🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Cool untill you have a Calf cramp then almost drown to death. Thats my experience with this.
I think is a good idea, but it’s pricey but hey they can sell it at whatever price people are willing to buy
Me: if its under 1000$ mum will definetly buy it
Him:Unfortunetly its almost 9000
Me:forget it
I had a bike like that but I got rid of it. The solar hydro-diesel moto X dikes are beast!
Very cool beginning. I mean beginning because that's gonna be quite niche for a while, until the price drops way down. Carbon fibre everything means that it'll be upwards of like five grand…
Decent E-bikes are still around that price. Also, imagine if it had a more streamlined tricycle shape to it. It could have one more propulsion mechanism and you wouldn't have to worry about the balance so much. The centre of gravity and stance is important. Look at Jet Skis for example 😉
Imagine the fitness you would achieve if you were being chased by a shark.
…what happens if you get tired at the middle of the river
It does not float if you stop peddling you will sink
It will be better if no battery is required
What A UseLess Water Bike
Should star selling this to migrants in France.
How much?
i just ordered mine. waiting for delivery
Imagine in the middle of a lake a mechanical defect ? 😵
Bravo!!
Only 9,000 dollars
So why not offer an E kit for it??
The time he said (this bike might not be for everyone due to the price of 8990 USD) broke lads went violated
J aimerais l essayer; quel est le prix? QUEL EST LE DEALER LE PLUS PROCHE DE TROIS RIVIERES?
very good bike
Bottom line $9000 is to much and it should be able tofloats completely on top of the water youre not peddling. Good for rich folk that want another status symbol toy.
What If you are very fat🤣
$9000. $20 life saving jacket not included. 👍🏿🤷🏽♂️🤣
Why not just get a paddle board? This bike is crazy expensive
MY LEGS ARE BURNING JUST WATCHING THIS!
More like something you can rent cuz damn
Too bad it's out of reach. Over $9,000 USD.
is there places to try this bike before buying it in ny?
I saw something like this in Beyond 2000, 25 years ago.
at 9k.. i'd get a jet ski
Possible to ordered this one?
9000 USD without shipping and tax, thanks but I prefer swimming.
123
Well shit now we can ride a bicycle on the water and it’s not massive anymore and it’s actually fastish
What happens when you stop pedaling? Can you pause on that bike?
So you will be drown if not cycling it? How if you are tired? Lol
Incredibly Overpriced…even at one thousand hardly anyone would buy it.
I am SURE SUPER EXPENSIVE just to feel cool on water for 1 hour. So I wont even dream about owning one. I will wait for a knock off
I imagined crossing from Santa Monica to Malibu beating all the traffic.
