EPP eFiol comparison: 8KW hydrofoil surfboard or 12KW electric surfboard?

Comparison at a glance

Power, speed, and riding time

The 8KW hydrofoil surfboard lists a 45 km/h maximum speed and 90 to 120 minutes of continuous riding time. Its 52V 58A ternary lithium battery takes 3 hours to charge. That combination fits a buyer planning longer sessions between charging periods and accepting the lower listed top speed.

The 12KW electric surfboard lists 55 km/h and 50 to 70 minutes of riding time. Its 73V 55A ternary lithium battery also takes 3 hours to charge. Buyers comparing these figures should decide whether the higher listed power and speed matter more than the shorter stated riding-time range.

Both boards support a 120 kg maximum load. The shared load figure simplifies initial screening for personal use, rental inventory, or a water-sports program, while the power, speed, and riding-time figures separate the two choices.

Construction and handling considerations

Both products use EPP in their listed construction. The 8KW model lists an EPP shell and a board size of 168 × 72 × 12.5 cm. Its weight breakdown is 12.5 kg for the shell, 18 kg for the battery, and 8 kg for the system. A buyer planning regular loading and unloading can use those separate figures to plan storage and transport.

The 12KW model lists EPP/carbon fiber construction, a 182 × 62 × 15 cm body, a 17 kg board, and a 25 kg battery. The longer body and heavier listed components should be included when checking vehicle storage, racks, and the route from the charging area to the water.

Picture two different working routines. For the 8KW model, measure the storage space against the 168 cm length and plan for the listed shell, battery, and system weights. For the 12KW model, check the 182 cm length and the 25 kg battery before a single operator is expected to move the complete setup.

Battery removal, charging, and procurement fit

Each model lists 10-second battery removal and a 3-hour charging time. The 8KW model lists a 220V/110V charger, while the 12KW model lists the same input options. These common points support a similar basic charging workflow, but the different battery specifications and riding-time ranges should shape fleet planning.

For a rental or club buyer, the 12KW model's 55 km/h maximum speed and 50 to 70 minutes of listed riding time point toward a faster, shorter-session operating pattern. The 8KW model's 90 to 120 minutes of listed riding time supports planning for longer sessions before charging, subject to the rider, water, and operating conditions.

For a personal buyer, choose the 8KW model when the priority is its longer listed riding-time range and listed component weights. Choose the 12KW model when the priority is 12KW power, a 55 km/h listed maximum speed, and the larger 182 cm board length.

Before requesting a quotation, send the supplier your intended quantity, rider load range, storage dimensions, charging voltage, and whether your operation needs the 8KW or 12KW configuration.
