EXPERIENCE FREEDOM
Designed in New Zealand, the Manta5 hydrofoil e-bike offers a fun and surreal way to get out on the water.
A clean, safe and easy way to enjoy the water.
Something in between cycling and flying; a concept that defies gravity!
It’s fun for all the family. If you can ride a bike and swim, you can ride the Hydrofoiler SL3.
The combination of electric power assistance and human power offers a quiet, efficient and environmentally friendly way to enjoy getting out on the water.
My first try on the foiling e-bike was really cool. Yorick gave me clear instructions on what to do to get it to lift out of the water and foil. Great guy and a fun experience.

What an amazing experience!
It took me a few goes but once I was up it’s just the craziest feeling to be sliding along the water. Really is unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
The instructor was patient and very clear with their instructions.
I can’t wait to try it again.

I love riding the bikes, they are so fun. I learnt heaps of cool tricks, and was riding some small waves. I think that any kid would like those amazing bikes as much as I do.

Not super fit at the moment, so was a bit apprehensive. I managed to foil after a little while and the feeling was amazing. It was a great way to workout and have fun.
