DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What the pack contains
This pack assembles three Foil Drive products. The Assist MAX+ Base Kit includes the unit in its bag, the V3 remote, the 43 V 12 A charger, titanium screw set, and tool kit. The FM+ 650 battery is 648 Wh in 43.2 V, with the battery and nose cone molded in one piece, and comes with its bag. The Retro-fit High Power Motor Kit features the Universal Mini Pod and its three straps, the High Power V2 motor, a three-blade hub and three propellers, a removable 20 cm cable, a stainless steel screw set, and a protective bag. Just add your board and foil, and your system is complete.
The Assist MAX+, the allround model in the range
Foil Drive presents the Assist MAX+ as the replacement for the Assist MAX, rebuilt on the Fusion's 43 V platform. It gains approximately 20% more power and range, a tilt sensor, and improved Bluetooth, all in a compact and lightweight format. It targets riders under 100 kg on short to medium boards, for surf foil, downwind, wing, wake, or flat water. For larger riders, or for the longest sessions, the Fusion is more suitable.
FM+ 650 battery range
Foil Drive provides benchmarks measured with an 85 kg rider, an 800 cm² wing, and a 5'0 40 L board: approximately 40 to 50 minutes in surf foil for an intermediate rider and 55 to 70 minutes for an advanced rider, in 3-foot swell and less than 5 knots of wind. Charging takes about 85 minutes with the included 43 V charger, and a storage mode preserves the battery during breaks. These figures vary greatly depending on weight, equipment, and the conditions of use.
A motor to mount on your foil
The Universal Mini Pod connects the motor to the mast with a low-profile, low-drag design. It attaches and detaches by hand, and its position is adjustable on the mast. The 20 cm cable places the motor at a versatile height for surf, pumping, wing, downwind, wake, and flat water. 60 cm and 70 cm cables are available separately for efoil. The High Power V2 motor and three-blade propeller form the retro-fit configuration Foil Drive recommends for maximum initial thrust.
