Electric motorcycle flying on water has arrived, meet Awake Navi, know its features

Danish company Awake Boards has introduced a unique and high-tech electric vehicle that runs on water, named Awake Navi. It has been launched in a big show in Germany (Boot Düsseldorf). It looks like a motorcycle, but it flies not on roads but over water waves. It is quite different from ordinary boats or jet-skis because it floats in the air slightly above water waves rather than passing through them. Let us tell you in detail about the features of this unique electric motorcycle that flies over water.

How does it fly on water?

Its biggest feature is its Hydrofoil technology. As soon as it reaches a certain speed, the fins (foil) attached below it lift it above the surface of the water. This allows it to fly above the waves of water. This reduces water drag. Also, the journey becomes very smooth and shocks from the waves are not even felt. It feels like moving in air on water without any jerk.

Rides like a motorcycle

It has been designed in such a way that you can ride it by sitting on it like a motorcycle. If you know how to ride a bike, it will be very easy for you to ride it. The way to ride it is also like a bike. Its speed can be increased or decreased by rotating the throttle (accelerator) located on the handle. It is also provided with reverse gear to go backward and kill switch for safety. There is a screen in the middle of the handle that shows navigation and battery information.

Battery and Backup

Awake Navi is completely electric. If you use the larger battery (XR4), it can last up to 3 hours on a full charge. At the same time, on small battery (LR4) it runs for about 1.5 hours. Also, since there is no engine, it runs quietly on water without any noise or vibration.

light and strong body

It is made from Carbon Composite, which is very strong and also very light in weight. It also has a small screen which gives you navigation and battery information. Its wings can be folded or shortened when needed, so that it can be carried even in shallow water or can be easily carried anywhere.

One or two rides, your choice

Awake Navi can seat one or two people. Special types of float tubes (air tubes) can be installed in it. By installing a tube, 2 people can sit comfortably on it. Its maximum weight capacity is 250 kg. If you want to run it alone, you can remove these tubes. Removing the tube makes it thinner and sharper.
