MagyarCyrusher Thunders electric surfboard launches with 44 mph top speed
The Cyrusher Thunders electric surfboard has been launched in the US. The company, known for its e-bikes, claims its new product allows you to surf without wind or waves thanks to its Jet-Pump direct drive. The e-surfboard has a 5 kW continuous-rated and 10 kW peak-rated electric motor, allowing you to travel at speeds up to 70 kph (~44 mph); the average speed is 50 kph (~31 mph).
The Thunders' throttle is controlled via a handle attached to the surfboard. A safety shut-off key with a paracord bracelet ensures the motor switches off if you fall from the board. A 3,600 Wh battery allows you to ride for up to 60 minutes and fully recharges in two to three hours with the included 72V 25A charger. The company suggests that a novice could stand up on the board with one or two attempts, though it admits that a jet board would be easier to ride.
The surfboard measures 1,680 x 580 x 160mm (~66.14 x 22.83 x 6.3-in), weighing 39 kg (~86 lbs, including battery) and supporting loads up to 120 kg (~265 lbs). You can now buy the Cyrusher Thunders electric surfboard for the discounted price of US$9,999; the product has an RRP of US$11,999, meaning you save US$200. It is unclear whether or when the device could launch in other markets.
