When it comes to electric assist for foiling, FoilDrive continues to push the boundaries of performance. The new FoilDrive Max High Power Motor and FoilDrive Max High Power Battery are engineered to give riders more thrust, longer sessions, and unmatched efficiency on the water.
And the best part? Both upgrades are fully backward compatible with all FoilDrive Gen 2 kits, so if you already own a FoilDrive Assist MAX or Assist Slim, you can upgrade instantly without needing a whole new system.
These two products work exceptionally well together—but they also deliver impressive performance as standalone upgrades. Whether you want more power, longer ride times, or both, the new HP range is a game-changer for all foilers.
More Power, More Ride Time, More Efficiency
The FoilDrive Max High Power Motor (HP Motor) has been designed to increase thrust by up to 25%, making water starts easier and improving overall responsiveness. But what makes it truly special is its efficiency—it delivers more thrust using the same amount of energy, which means you can foil for longer without draining your battery faster.
Pair it with the FoilDrive Max High Power Battery (HP Battery), which packs 20% more capacity into the same form factor as the standard Max Power Battery, and you’ll extend your session time dramatically.
According to real-world testing, using both upgrades together can increase ride time by over 40%—turning a 40-minute session into nearly an hour on the water!
Key Upgrades and Benefits
More Thrust, Less Effort – The HP Motor provides a stronger, more responsive power delivery, making it easier to get on foil and maintain flight, even in difficult conditions.
Longer Ride Sessions – The HP Battery offers roughly 20% more capacity, giving you more time on the water without adding significant weight.
Unmatched Efficiency – The HP Motor maximises power output while consuming less energy, meaning you can foil longer without increasing battery drain.
Smoother Ride Experience – With improved torque and RPM stability, the HP Motor reduces the “spooling effect” when the motor comes in and out of the water, making it feel smoother and more predictable.
Better in Headwinds & Upwind Conditions – More torque means better control in challenging conditions, making it easier to punch through stronger winds and rougher waters.
Game-Changer for Smaller Foils & Boards – The extra power means you can ride smaller, more responsive setups, giving you a performance boost without sacrificing efficiency.
Fully Compatible with FoilDrive Gen 2 Kits – No need to replace your existing setup—simply swap in the new motor or battery for an instant upgrade.
Future-Proofed for Upcoming Innovations – The HP Motor will be integrated into new carbon fibre mast options as they roll out, ensuring compatibility with future developments.
How It Works – Two Ways to Use the HP Motor
The HP Motor gives you flexibility in how you use it:
More Thrust, Same Settings – Keep your current app settings, and you’ll get more power and a more responsive feel without changing anything.
Even More Power with App Adjustments – Unlock up to 28% boost with the HP Battery, giving you over 30kg of thrust for serious performance gains.
With the right tuning, you can even lower your app settings while still getting the same performance as before—this extends ride time even further!
Real-World Results – 40% More Ride Time!
FoilDrive’s team has put the HP Motor and HP Battery through extensive testing. Here’s what they found:
Standard Max Power Battery + Standard Motor → ~40-minute session (high throttle use)
HP Battery + Standard Motor → ~49-minute session (~20% increase)
HP Battery + HP Motor → 58-minute session (~40% increase)
By using the HP Battery and Motor together, you get significantly more time on the water without changing your foiling style.
Who is This For?
Riders looking for longer sessions – The 20% battery increase means more time foiling without needing to recharge.
Foilers who want more power and thrust – The HP Motor delivers extra punch, making it easier to ride smaller foils and lighter setups.
Anyone upgrading their existing FoilDrive Gen 2 kit – No need to replace your setup—just swap in the HP Motor or HP Battery for an instant upgrade.
Riders tackling rougher conditions – The HP Motor helps you push through stronger headwinds and handle upwind sections more efficiently.
Downwind and surf foilers – If you want to ride faster, catch waves earlier, and maintain speed more effortlessly, this upgrade is for you.
