Part jet ski , part electric water scooter, 100% awesome. That is the Exoconcept Exo — a brand new sea-born vehicle for stealth missions and the occasional run-in with Mr. Living Vicariously. The craft is available in a number of flavors with shells manufactured from high-end carbon fiber or ABS plastic, and engines starting from 3.5-7kWh. In a position to cruising the open waters at a max speed of 15-27 knots (17-31 mph), it doesn’t really rival the thrust of a few of its non-electric cousins , but it’s certainly fast and quiet enough for some reconnoitering or good old school family fun. With four racks of Li Fe PO4 high capacity batteries, the motor powers a water jet turbine drive system to chop through waves with none sound pollution. Unfortunately, zipping around on electric power doesn’t come cheap — at €7,290 (or $9,939), it’ll probably only attract people who also own the lake had to enjoy it on. But hey, as a minimum you have until Q1 2012 to save lots of up!
EXO a brand new electric and ecological water toy.
On the Cannes Boat Show 2011, EXOCONCEPT unveils EXO, a brand new electric watercraft, ecological, fun and sport that may be used and not using a license.
After two years of studies, developments and registrations on the INPI, the EXO embeds the top performances that technology can offer, particularly an underwater electric propulsion group,radically innovative, with a wide variety of uses, completed with the last generation of high-capacity batteries.
A number of the basic criteria of an inventory of specifications all in favour of excellence and an impeccable building quality, the EXO needed to present a radically new form, be ergonomic, ecological, easily transportable and be virtually without maintenance.
EXOCONCEPT intends to equip water sports centers worldwide and has built dedicated
business packages with the intention to offer to them an access to a brand new category of shoppers.
The EXO line comes in two different materials: reinforced ABS and carbon fiber, and in
several powers of engines ranging from 3.5 until 7Kwh.
The EXO line in carbon fiber, more luxury and sport orientated, comes with the most
powerful engine (7Kwh), and a few exclusive optional features that may be personalized.
Clearly, this line will satisfy all yacht owners and extreme sports lovers who look
for difference and robust emotions.
EXOCONCEPT is currently working to install place its sales network and appears for official
dealers worldwide. The 1st deliveries of EXOs should be done through the first quarter of 2012.
The corporate can already receive pre-orders.
