Only cut on the push stroke! *stands and watches the world burn*

Useful information for me, as I'm in the market for one of these. I'm not too concerned with speed, as the plan is to use it to get around the marina, and not worry about hitting thegas filling station. I have a low draft sailboat (Bahamas friendly), so for exploring, I could get a bit closer with the mothership so minimize the distance.

What type of blade are you using?

You help me to make a decision, between the mercury avatar 7.5e and epropulsion 1.0 plus. Thank you.

Lavoro pessimo, non hai tolto neanche le stoviglie prima di verniciare, troppo difficile? Lo lasciavi com’era prima era meglio

Brother 5 kg in two weeks is fucking impressive.. I have started it two weeks ago and decided not to weigh myself till the end of this week.. this video is assuring me to keep it up for 1 month..

What brand please? I'm trying to make a canoe out of this😮 haha maybe a bad idea but clear boats are like $1000 and these were only $17. I got the palruf clear. Wish me luck.

Well - nice video! You pointed out the downside of the whole elctric drives ....with a brushless motor without gear, you´re already on the better side 🙂 You can just calculate the hull speed (displacement speed) for your boat...and thats pretty where you´re heading with your effective speed. Trying to get faster will just burn a lot of power for nearly no extra outcome. I got a fishing boat (4m fibreglass reinforced plastic) got a small brushless motor (Zebco Rhino BLX 70) which is on a 12V AGM battery (kind of like car battery) - THIS is a heavy battery...weighs about 20kg ..for maybe 2-3 hours of driving at 3,3kts. The Spirit got the "light weight"-Version of a battery, trust me 😅 Its a pretty decent concept for short ranges on a sail boat, short trips on a lake...for landing on shore with a dinghy you got the problem with the expensive battery. Maybe they develope some locks for motor and battery...this would be a useful extension

min 8.30 where did you buy these strips?

Great video! thank you;) After watching it, now I guess a good test would be to check if you can get 3.6 nautical miles on a epropulsion elite throttling at 200W too.. if this is true, than profit :D

With skill you get further into the thick before dropping the bike...Just saying :-) stand up and just keep the speed up. Then learn a smart way to lift the bike..

Why even try to compare it to a gas motor, shesh! You're not teach us anything we don't know

The electro motors are NOT inefficient. Electro-Motors are most efficient of all motor types. The reason why spending 2x more power is not resulting in 2x more speed is just physics! The faster the more resistance you get from the water. And the problem why you think it is inefficient, is because you are used to use fuel motors and there never care how much fuel is used at high speed, because the tank is so big. But a electro motor as such is much more efficient than a fuel motor.

I've had my Spirit 1.0 for 18 months now and it's NOT been a good investment. Those blue plastic handles that are attached to the clamps (to fasten the Spirit to your tender) are incredibly weak. Mine have both snapped off despite the Spirit only having been removed a few times. The lead connectors, ARE a weak point just as the video shows. I've lost count of the number of times I have got an error code. There is not any way of adjusting the angle of the leg when in shallow water. But, for me, it's the throttle 'direction' that has caused the most stress. It's the opposite direction to a normal outboard and, after 40 years of petrol outboard use, in emergencies or when I'm in a rush, my muscle memory sees me twisting the throttle into reverse by mistake-which has led to some paint damage to my mother ship, a bit of skin lost from having to fend off a jetty and much embarrassment. The Spirit 1.0 is okay but nowhere near what it could have been.

Really looking forward to the result. I also hate the contact glue process… and I have a rib to fix! 😅

Voilà pas l’artiste ponçage et peinture sans enlever la vaisselle….c’est un peu comme repeindre une voiture sans cacher les vitres !

didn't last a minute with that barking mutt

Looks like you almost got it. Consider getting a dirtbike and learn riding off-road then apply those skills to GS

You need a smaller bike. Good on you for trying... but you definitely don't have the skill for this.

This video is jibberish..... I have owned and used the Spirit 1.0 for over 3 years on a highfield classic 3.1. It is a game changer, get the fast charger, I also have a solar charger.

In it's wheight class the F800 is the better option to traverse through sand. Since the fuel tank is at the back, the front end is much lighter and that is what you need. Otherwise the sand steers the bike. I drive slow where the it's more compacted and accelerate a bit more through sandy parts. Having Continental TKC80's also helps. They do a fantastic job. Try and move the water bottles to the back to get the front as light as possible. Remove the top-box. Rather strap a soft luggage roll in line with the bike onto the passenger part of the seat and luggage rack.

Looks like it may have been installed upsidedown. One side has UV protection.

Love your commentary. Love your version of the "perfect" (bike) life

Mate your going to slow through the thick stuff even the best rider would fall at those speeds and get your butt off the seat and lower that center of gravity you'll find it much easier trust me ,good luck pal you've got a great bike for what your doing it will take you anywhere you point it ❤

All you needed was Dronehacks man. Then it becomes the safest mountain surfer you can get because of the DJI failsafe system.

Nice video, worthy watch. We only use our dinghy to get to shore from anchorage we decided to get one of these as they are much easier to handle single handedly to transfer from our yacht to the dinghy. Much easier to handle two parts each about 10kg. No fuel spillage and smell, instant start, delightfully quiet, and much easier to control fwd and rev. I tend to run it at 400W max which is the sweet spot for our dinghy. It's each to their own on how they use their dinghy but for simple back and forth to shore I wouldn't go back to petrol.

I found this very useful. Muchas Gracias!

You need tires

Just fly from the top of the mountain problem solved 🤣

Foste mesmo um bravo por teres pegado nele nesse estado!! Mas tão awesome por lhe teres reconhecido o potencial.

Good video mate. Atleast next time she is hauled out there will be much much less. I have about 150 holes to do on my 36ft. Good job!

Why not just place the glass cover over the plastic and call it a day? Seems more complicated than it needed to be.

Rookie question- how to you prep and paint around where the boat props/supports are?

Wow 3 months,you must have worked super hard.Good job…

Just an upate after a 9 months waiting for my court date I have won got all my money back and goodbye E propulsion.

Just bought an evasion 32! This is huge inspiration for me, can you send me a link to exact paint for the 2 part Epoxy paint?

It takes you forever to say anything. 6 minutes and all you said was the boat doesn’’t go fast enough to self bail. I can’t watch this anymore.

Thank you. One suggestion: watch your videos and learn to be more concise. This video could have lasted 6-9 mins with the most relevant information.

How is it holding mate

No boat has ever sunk from blisters. Like bumps on a golf ball they make it go faster. Making a big hole and then patching maybe not worth it. Paint the bottom and move on.

Sell the GS, get a dr650 or xl350 or smaller for offroad stuff, and go buy a daily rider for everything else. You need to ride aggressively with those big 'ADVs'.

you are absolutely amusing, really enjoy how persistance you are despite facing challenges. Your channel suggest you moved on to sailing, still ride these days?

Great video. More people need to see it. These are great motors depending on how you use your dinghy. We talked before replacing our dead Honda 2hp with Spirit OnePlus and realized that our only use is to push our tiny dinghy to and from shore at anchorages. Dinghy is too small to row comfortably with two or more and no room for a bigger one. This motor is perfect , eliminating gasoline onboard, starting issues, maintenance bad gas issues, etc. However, our friends with the same sailboat use their dinghy to venture miles beyond the anchorage and at high speed. This motor would not work for them. Also we liked the way you broke the review up into segments and introduced each one. Thanks again. Good info here for many more than have seen it so far.

16:40 Thank God 16:41 "God: Wait a minute".

i mean it's doable but those tires in that loose of sand is always gonna be tough

Awesome video - how long did you let the open spots dry before filling them up with epoxy?

Nice video

Sounds counter intuitive, but go faster and if in doubt, give her a lil whiskey grip to drive through the soft stuff. Thanks for the video, was great entertainment 🤟

Bought one of these. You mentioned you charge it up to 80%. But how do you know when it's at 80%? You have to connect it up to the tiller and shaft to see what it's charged too. Really annoying

In soft sand you need to reduce the tyre pressures otherwise you’ll end up like that. Plus those bikes are big heavy buggers.
