What we can't get used to is the oily crud that is emitted from gas-powered watercraft. The Foiljet MR1 is an [electric motorcycle for the water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuickwheel-skyrider-x6). It won't kick up a wake because the Foiljet [rides above the water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-foils-liftx), but it's silent and clean. **Implications** - Designed by Matt De Bellefeulle and Robert Vandenham, the environmentally friendly recreational vehicle is powered by a 48 volt electric motor and comes equipped with low noise, increased safety, and quality. This is the kind of smooth watersports any vacationer or outdoors-person would obsess over. The Foiljet MR1 is available now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Watercrafts:** The Foiljet MR1 presents an opportunity for the development of more electric-powered watercrafts for a sustainable leisure activity. - **Noise-free Water Sports:** The Foiljet MR1 offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the creation of noise-free water sports that are less intrusive and environmentally friendly. - **Silent Marine Transportation:** The Foiljet MR1 provides a chance to capitalize on a trend towards silent marine transportation through electric-powered watercrafts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Recreational Transportation:** The Foiljet MR1 represents a disruptive innovation opportunity to produce recreational transportation that has a lower impact on the environment with quieter operation. - **Water Sports:** The Foiljet MR1 presents a trend towards less intrusive and more environmentally friendly water sports. - **Marine Tourism:** The Foiljet MR1 offers opportunities for the marine tourism industry to provide sustainable and non-intrusive water experiences for tourists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Hydrofoil Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valo-hyperfoil.md) - [Hydrofoiling Electric Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoiling-electric-boats.md) - [Balanced Hydrofoil Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neocean-overboat-100f.md) - [Sporty Electric Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taiga-orca.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md) - [All-Electric Hydrofoil Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seadoo-rise.md) - [Eco-Friendly Superyacht Tenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ejet-4x-tender.md) - [Emissions-Free Sport Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-wake-boat.md) - [Sleek Electric Hydrofoil Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-vinga.md)
