How the calculator sorts setups

  1. The rider weight is compared with the limit the manufacturer lists for the board. Waydoo calls it ideal rider weight, Lift calls it max rider weight and Fliteboard writes built for riders up to. The wording for each board is on the weight limits page.
  2. The session length is compared with the longest ride time the manufacturer lists for the battery.
  3. When the session is longer than the ride time, the result shows the number of full charges needed. A second charge takes a spare battery. Spare battery prices are on the battery page.
  4. A spec that is Not listed or Not confirmed puts the setup in the last group. Nothing is estimated.

Listed ride times

Listed ride times are maximums. Fliteboard's battery article says a heavier rider might get 60 minutes from a battery that gives a lighter rider up to 90 (Fliteboard battery article). Fliteboard has its own Ride Calculator for Fliteboard setups (Fliteboard Ride Calculator).

Registration and the manual

The U.S. Coast Guard treats a motorized eFoil as a vessel (U.S. Coast Guard Policy Letter 01-22). Registration rules are on the rules page.

The manufacturer's manual is the authority for rider weight limits, charging and battery handling.
