The Valo Hyperfoil hydrofoil jet ski is a piece of gear for aquatic sports enthusiasts that promises to deliver power and performance in a decidedly sustainable way. The electric aquatic unit is capable of delivering 108-horsepower thanks to an electric motor within that's rated to support up to two people two-feet above the water thanks to the hydrofoil design. The unit has a series of hydrofoil wings that are constructed out of carbon fiber for enhanced durability without increasing overall weight.
The Valo Hyperfoil hydrofoil jet ski is rated to achieve a top speed of 58mph for more than 100-minutes and can go from zero to 45mph in eight-seconds. The aquatic unit is priced at $59,000 and will be available in limited quantities when delivered in the US starting next summer.
