Still, nice to think that under 5/8 of the earths surface EVs rule...

Nano-tech 90c packs

The thingap ducted jet water thruster (it's 144hp I think?)
+
And a little consideration given to hydrodynamics.

Interesting. Wonder if the scalloped outside of the cowling is another application of the whale fin "bumps" eg:

Neat packaging, but it looks real slow and is not much more than a toy. A moderately fit person with a pair of good fins could outrun that easily. If it's intended for scuba the speed will be half that in the video thanks to drag from buoyancy jacket and air cylinder.
 
That's more like it. I want a Magnus 950! Though with the amount of fishing line that's snagged around the wrecks here I'd probably end up garrotting myself :shock:
 
Audio seems mucked up on that vid. Rider position doesn't seem very hydrodynamic...
