DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A motor to install on your own foil
The Retro-fit High Power Motor Kit brings together the Universal Mini Pod, the High Power V2 motor, and a three-blade propeller. The Mini Pod connects the motor to the mast with a low profile and minimal DRAG. It is fully removable and adjustable without tools. Its three straps (95 to 110 mm, 112 to 128 mm, and 130 to 145 mm) accommodate different mast profiles. This allows installation on any brand's mast. The High Power V2 motor provides the most thrust at low RPMs from Foil Drive. The three-blade hub with its standard propellers offers strong acceleration and reasonable consumption.
Motor height and compatibility
The removable 20 cm cable places the motor at a versatile height. It is suitable for Surf foil, pumping, wing, downwind, wake, and flat water. You can change the cable if your board, mast, or riding style evolves. For pure efoil, Foil Drive offers 60 and 70 cm cables, sold separately. The kit works with Foil Drive Assist MAX+, Fusion, Assist MAX, and Assist Slim units. It is not compatible with first-generation Assist and Assist Plus. In the Foil Drive range, it replaces the High Power V2 Motor Complete: the pod is now sold with the motor and is no longer included in the MAX+ and Fusion base kits.
