A young Finnish company specializing in hydrodynamic electric watercraft called Foil.One has introduced its flagship product, and it looks cool as hell. The Pegasus is a single-seat electric hydrofoil boat that is as impressive in performance as it is aesthetically pleasing; check it out.

Foil.One is a new developer of all-electric marine mobility based in Finland that, per its website, in on a “quest to innovate, inspire, and create a sustainable future where adventure and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.”

In its quest to redefine what’s possible on the water, Foil.One was implemented several design elements that promote strength, power, fun, and sustainability – all of which have culminated into the company’s flagship vessel, an electric hydrofoil boat called Pegasus.

Designed with a sleek aesthetic inspired by the aerodynamics of 1950s Formula 1 cars and WW1 aircraft, the Pegasus is a unique, single-passenger hydrofoil that is sure to garner looks from all the boats it cruises quietly past. Check it out.

Foil.One opens pre-orders for its solo electric hydrofoil boat

Foil.One recently debuted the Pegasus as it opened initial pre-orders, sharing video footage of it in action you can see below. Its developers describe the electric hydrofoil boat as a tribute to the past in design and a bold stride into the future with its inner components.

The all-electric vessel is constructed entirely from carbon fiber, making it strong but also light. This allows it to glide above the water’s wake and travel farther. The single-passenger hydrofoil is propelled by an 18.8 kW electric motor powered by two swappable, 5 kWh 48V battery packs from Torqeedo.

Torqeedo’s 2,900W fast charger also enables the hydrofoil boat to fully recharge in less than two hours, so even if your swapped batteries are depleted, you won’t have to wait too long to get back out and cruise around. Speaking of cruising, the Pegasus offers speeds between 18 and 20 knots (20.7-23 mph) but can reach a top rate of 30 knots (34.5 mph).

Its range can go over two hours on a single charge and according to Foil.One, is as easy as riding a bike. That said, its makers state that being at the helm of the Pegasus feels more like operating a fighter jet than a hydrofoil boat.

The Pegasus electric hydrofoil boat is available for pre-order now and can be personalized and tailored to a customer’s needs. The vessel starts at 139,900 euros ($151,355), but with all-in pricing, including the two battery packs and Torqeedo fast charger, it costs 150,502 euros ($162,825). As promised, you can see the Pegasus electric hydrofoil boat in action in Foil.One’s video below:
