The WAYDOO FLYER JET is an optional jet propulsion system designed to upgrade compatible Waydoo eFoils, such as the Flyer ONE and Flyer ONE Plus. This add-on replaces the standard propeller-based propulsion, offering a different riding experience.
Key characteristics of the WAYDOO FLYER JET include:
- Alternative Propulsion: It provides a jet drive system instead of an exposed propeller, which some riders may find safer or prefer for specific water conditions.
- Smooth Acceleration: Users often describe the acceleration as gradual and linear.
- Increased Traction: The jet system can offer more traction and stability due to the enclosed hardware pushing water.
- Potentially Lower Top Speed/Power: Compared to propeller systems, the jet drive might have a slightly lower top speed and power output. It may require more power to get up to speed and achieve the same cruising speed as a propeller.
- Efficiency: The jet propulsion has been noted to be more efficient than some earlier propeller designs.
- Compact Size and Weight: The jet drive unit itself is relatively small, with overall dimensions of approximately 12 x 5.5 x 5.9 inches and a weight of around 1.43 kg (3.15 lbs).
- Beginner-Friendly (Potentially): Some reviews suggest the jet system could be more suitable for beginners due to the gradual acceleration and perceived safety of an enclosed propulsor.
In summary, the WAYDOO FLYER JET offers an alternative to traditional eFoil propellers, providing a different feel and potentially enhanced safety for some riders, while maintaining efficient performance within its operational characteristics.
