i like this design a lot! this makes me think of an underwater enclosed ebike with ability to peddle as well. maybe enclosed but can also be designed where we still utilize underwater breathing gear, but gives us the ability to move around underwater, and peddle as well. when i see this great design in this video, i am inspired to see so many new ways to move both on top of the water, as in the video, and beneath the water as well. one of the most important things to remember is, when someone tells you its been done before, that is evidence that people like it. keep going! keep making new designs! great work!
I try both, XE-1 before, and the new SL3+ model today in Mallorca, Spain. It's incredible, no words, just need to try it ! Thanks to Manta5 and Salty Cycling team ! Hope to see the SL3 manta5 soon for renting in Mallorca !
The advancements in Hydrofiler bikes are progressing well and it is going to be a gamechanger for travelling on placid lakes, large ponds and rivers with minimal turbulence. 😊😊👌👌👍👍
@@notanymore9471 congrats you know some chemistry but it doesn't change anything that I've said. Lithium ion batteries have already been implemented in marine environments.
Now that they have solved the problem of how to launch from the water when you capsize or get too tired this will have much more appeal. Hopefully it is not too outrageously priced.
This will be great fun. When aerodynamics are considered, a recumbent position will be much more efficient on the water where wind is a huge factor. It is not uncommon to have steady 15 mph wind on a lake and a recumbent rider would have much less air drag into the wind.
Moment of inertia is reduced in recumbent position, leading to a shorter pendulum movement for roll. This gives shorter reaction time for the rider to make roll corrections while flying (google roll for aircraft movements). These types of hydrofoil craft require the rider to correct roll using the steering and their body, like a normal bycicle. Also, in standard position, gravity helps the legs while pushing down, in recumbent position you will get tired sooner. These 2 issues make for a less comfortable ride.
@glennmiley75 Good observation, I think that would call for a pretty radical design change, could also be an additional model perhaps. shrugs. I like the stand up feature, but they should have a means to lock out the pedals so both share a horizontal plane, 'locked'. Better yet would be an option to replace them with dirt bike styled foot pegs.
Body is slimmer than a jet ski, but those (barely seen) underwater fins take up some space. Not sure how much the pedals get used, it seems to rise out of the water with zero pedal action.
Yep sorry great bit of kit a bit like the electric foil sup board but at the price at the moment no chance both very expensive when China starts pumping them out by the millions in a few years and the price drops significantly then maybe
Reducing frontal area is the most important factor in cycling efficiency, more important than weight reduction. Fully faired recumbent bikes are the fastest human powered vehicles. Why not see a version of this hydrofoiler built as a recumbent then weigh the pros and cons?
I get why you put a motor in it. I really do get it. The Market is weak, middle-aged folks with money who barely want to pedal. You show that in the video. But can you please make an analog bike with no motor for athletes?
Thanks your comment! the bike is a perfect choice for athletes too, as they can reduce the level of electric assist and make it almost manual, requiring high power
Nope. After reading the comments and DYOR on the price of these things, I rationalized it is even less useful than an electric unicycle. One of those things that looks cool to try but not able to replace similar popular machines for the price/use. Well done anyway, Manta. Good luck.
This is the kind of product you see 30 years from now and wonder how they got away with making it before all the lawsuits and deaths tankes production. Like the old honda 3 wheelers from the 70s. Happy sailing. Its black too so no boater will ever see you.
Finally the water bike! Now boats have something to run over! LOL
Seeing the blades/foils I was thinking more of the effect on swimmers and surfers, but you do have a point ...
Hope you get trapped looking for treasure
Florida local. Folks get hit frequently here by boaters. It's not a joke to laugh at.
There will be thousands in insurance claims for boat windshields....
Sadiq khan will stick a bike lane in the Thames 😅😅
Crazy times we are all living in...super cool.
It's a great invention, congratulations to all those involved. I hope it develops much more and we can travel over huge oceans in a short time
“Oceans” you say? Despite the fact not even ocean liners exist anymore? Where do they rest, or take refuge in case of a storm?

Really cool idea. If you fall off, you won't get scraped up. I live on a lake and it looks like a good workout option.
Finally an accelerator making it easy to start!!!
Great invention! Will be big!!
I want one! So cool.

Looks like they were doing fine in an ocean setting.
@@pcatful Thanks for your response. 😊😊🙏🙏
Awww electricity and water. Genius!
Because boats don't run batteries already? No I think you're the genius here
@@BaldKiwi117 ever sen what happens when lithium ion batteries catch fire? Then when water is put on the fire?

It will sure be, as with everything else these days
This sort of thing just proves that humans are such funny, little creatures.🤪😆
WOW
Show what it looks like out of the water.

Que lindo invento acuático 🥰
As living in Sydney North Shore, my next item wishing for. :)
Being from the Northern suburbs, we all know your entitled to one
Okay, seems like you are a poet.
Im guessing you can buy a half decent boat with the price for this 🤔🤔😂
Lol
But then you would look only half as stupid.
@@Steiger08 biking on water is stupid lmao hope you get eaten 😂🤞
Probably a really nice boat. This is the avocado toast of water toys.

@@aquafox8732 Good answer. Staying upright is job one.

'locked'. Better yet

with dirt bike styled foot pegs.
I'm already thinking these can be part of some ball and net game like actual water POLO
As long as they stay in their own lane I’m ok with it
The novelty would wear off pretty quickly.
What are the pedals for?
Ahhh I reckon you charge it that way...
Semi Recumbent version?
That bike will come to brazil ? ❤
Body is slimmer than a jet ski, but those (barely seen) underwater fins take up some space.
Not sure how much the pedals get used, it seems to rise out of the water with zero pedal action.
Is that Bay of Islands?
i will wait until i can ride from land and just go right into water without getting wet. now thats an idea
Getting wet is part of the fun! Our bikes replicate the real cycling experience, which wouldn't be so great with a hull or floaters.
He ment wheels on the bottom so go right from land to hydrofoil on water. I suppose you'd still get wet, but would still be fun.
Half bike... half plane.
- Marketing team.
Next thing there will bike lanes on the lake.
How fast will it go? Can it outrun an alligator?
What's the max speed?
Yep sorry great bit of kit a bit like the electric foil sup board but at the price at the moment no chance both very expensive when China starts pumping them out by the millions in a few years and the price drops significantly then maybe
The last thing I want to do on a jet ski is pedal.
Cool... top speed of a great white is 35 MPH.... how's yer peddling?
Didn't know great whites inhabited every body of water

Looks pretty good on the flat, but how is it on the hills? 🤔
🤣
I just don't understand why you would want to pedal when you can have a throttle
Critical questions don’t get answered here🙄
Yeah wtf

How to buy in india
Does it need electricity？
The SL3 is an e-bike, it runs on a 2500 watts motor. Learn more at www.manta5.com
One day, press a button, turn it into a surfboard.
Buy ekrric surf boat jet drive
Another cool invention that will probably fail because they will overprice it.
We are happy to inform you the SL3 it's already a success, with thousands of enthusiasts and happy riders worldwide 😉
Only potential customers soon will be the non cullvaxed of course.
Show what it takes to haul it after the five-minute battery life ends.
Good news! The SL3 has the longest ride duration of any electric foiling product on the market, up to 4.5 hours in the PRO model
But how much does it weigh and does it fold up easily?@@Manta5
Don't worry guys it only costs the price of a car at $40,000.
Price?
$9k without a battery. $2k for each battery. $600 for battery carrying case (necessary for air travel).
I get a feeling this would get boring pretty fast. It's not a bicycle or a jetski
Wrobg
I suspect these will sell well. Needs some styling. Hard to look cool on this.
Because people need something else to do as they stare into their cell phones.
Joking ? 10k ?
А если током жахнет?
Будешь педали крутить быстрее 😁
$10k - $13k nahhhhh. Ill buy a real boat
Now I can yell at cyclists when Im in my boat, cool
Waters fixed gear.
Only 9k.....
Don’t try this in florida unless they coming out with leg guards…🐊
Сломается или батарея сядет далеко от берега- все, там и останется
Well this has limited market since it can't be used by kids and people who have limited or swimming skills
Not for $20k...unless it's got gold in it.

It's pretty cool, but not $10k cool.
Forgot we bike on land: do something else in water.

And the cost is............
Would get old very quickly. No storage, always wet. Bulky. Wide planes will hit something sooner or later.
This is made for dentists
For a small price of $16K
Looks too slow
Sell for $10K… ridiculous
a fuckin Wotercycle !
only 47,000 pounds
