"Rough Ride: The $13K Hydrofoil for Amateur Enthusiasts"

The Flitescooter eFoil, priced at $12,995, is designed to make electric hydrofoil boarding more accessible to beginners, but a test ride reveals a rough experience with multiple falls and injuries. The board, powered by an electric jet propulsion motor, offers a smooth ride at speeds up to 30 mph, but its sharp fins and learning curve make it challenging to master. Despite its portability and swappable batteries, the Flitescooter's beginner-friendly positioning may not align with the challenging reality of riding it.
