Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE-1 - World's First Hydrofoil E-Bike

★★★ 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.

Try and sell those in Japan right now😂😂😂😂😂

That's pretty cool.

I dunno man its impressive tech and im sure its fun it just looks real nerdy.

Ill wait for the E-Hydrofoil version

They need an electric one. To expensive need to get to a price point that anyone could buy. I think for a toy $5000 would be excellent.

A bike that cost as much as a jetski😂

I imagined crossing from Santa Monica to Malibu beating all the traffic.

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

Incredibly Overpriced...even at one thousand hardly anyone would buy it.

So you will be drown if not cycling it? How if you are tired? Lol

What happens when you stop pedaling? Can you pause on that bike?

Well shit now we can ride a bicycle on the water and it’s not massive anymore and it’s actually fastish

123

9000 USD without shipping and tax, thanks but I prefer swimming.

Possible to ordered this one?

at 9k.. i'd get a jet ski

I saw something like this in Beyond 2000, 25 years ago.

is there places to try this bike before buying it in ny?

Too bad it's out of reach. Over $9,000 USD.

More like something you can rent cuz damn

MY LEGS ARE BURNING JUST WATCHING THIS!

Why not just get a paddle board? This bike is crazy expensive

$9000. $20 life saving jacket not included. 👍🏿🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

What If you are very fat🤣

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.

very good bike

J aimerais l essayer; quel est le prix? QUEL EST LE DEALER LE PLUS PROCHE DE TROIS RIVIERES?

The time he said (this bike might not be for everyone due to the price of 8990 USD) broke lads went violated

So why not offer an E kit for it??

Only 9,000 dollars

Bravo!!

Imagine in the middle of a lake a mechanical defect ? 😵

i just ordered mine. waiting for delivery

How much?

Should star selling this to migrants in France.

What A UseLess Water Bike

It will be better if no battery is required

It does not float if you stop peddling you will sink

...what happens if you get tired at the middle of the river

Imagine the fitness you would achieve if you were being chased by a shark.

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 😉

I had a bike like that but I got rid of it. The solar hydro-diesel moto X dikes are beast!

Me: if its under 1000$ mum will definetly buy it
Him:Unfortunetly its almost 9000
Me:forget it

I think is a good idea, but it’s pricey but hey they can sell it at whatever price people are willing to buy

Cool untill you have a Calf cramp then almost drown to death. Thats my experience with this.

7.000€ per quella idiozia??? Perciò non se ne vede una in giro (ed abito in una famosa località turistica sul mare)!!!🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

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!!!

Should put something to make the top bit float and prolly wouldn't have to work so hard to get going cuz less resistance

Donde puedo conseguir un bicicleta de esas?
