MOTOR SYSTEMS

Foil Drive offers a range of motor systems. The two main options to compare are the Universal Motor System and the Integrated Mast range.

Universal Motor Systems mount externally to any mast and feature a removable cable, allowing you to switch between six different cable lengths, thereby adjusting the motor's height on your mast. Motor heights vary, enabling riders to select an option tailored to their specific foiling discipline or skill level. Cable lengths range from 12cm (4.7") to 70cm (27.5").

Integrated Masts feature collaborative integration with leading foiling brands. Foil Drive has partnered with multiple brands to integrate the motor cable inside the mast, resulting in increased performance, reduced drag, and an overall improved rider experience. For those seeking a pure foiling ride, the Integrated Masts are unparalleled. Note: Motor positions are fixed and cannot be removed.
