The BMW x SipaBoards e-SUP is an integrated, 100% electric jet-assisted, self-inflating e-SUP co-developed with BMW. It keeps the pure feel of paddling while adding intuitive assist, safety, and range – an e-bike moment for water. Silent, sustainable and built to bring more people to the sport, with the promise of more excitement and a safe return in changing weather conditions. 

1. Integration, not add-on: The 300 W water-jet sits fully integrated, flush in the hull and also serves as the compressor, so the board self-inflates to 17 PSI in about 7 minutes and adds no drag when off.
2. More action, same recreation: The motor creates zero drag when turned off, so the riding experience is the same as on a classic board, when there is no need for the motor. One push of a button, brings 4 knots of boost.
3. Human-centric control: A BMW Neue Klasse–inspired Bluetooth remote built into the paddle puts speed and safety at thumb-reach -eyes up, cadence intact.
4. Safety and inclusivity: Assisted return through wind, tide, or fatigue lowers barriers for beginners, families, and longer tours without altering the essence of the sport. Integrated GPS helps with tracking and as theft protection.
5. Innovative design: The all-new SipaMount grid replaces D-rings with 17 modular attachment points for cameras, racks, lights, and safety gear—unlocking an accessory ecosystem and retailer upsell. 
6. Smart and connected – The e-SUP comes with a mobile phone app that features tracking, board operations and video library with tutorials, How-Tos and Manuals.

What’s new vs. anything on the market

• Jet propulsion + self-inflation + paddle-remote in one seamless platform.
• Dual Battery+ architecture enabling up to 7 hours of assisted ride time.
• Integrated LEDs for visibility at dawn, dusk, and night.
• Built in GPS unit for board tracking and tracing, ideal for rental businesses.
• Packable, travel-ready build at 14.9 kg, including full-carbon paddle and aerospace-grade components.

How it works

The integrated compressor inflates the board to riding pressure, always to perfect stiffness, thanks to a built in pressure-sensor. then switches to paddle assist. The rider controls the motor from the paddle, maintaining stroke rhythm and stance. When assistance is off, the flush jet housing eliminates drag for classic SUP glide.

User impact

• Unmatched safety. The motor adds power to fight headwinds, changing tides and currents. Helps when fatigue occurs and minimises chances of drifting too far out. Coupled with GPS and eSIM, the board can be found anywhere.
• Confidence and range: cover more distance, fight current or headwind, and get home safe.
• Equalising opportunity: People with different skillsets, age groups or physical abilities can join the sport together. A great solution for paddlers with disabilities, or people looking for a low-risk activity or rehabilitation.

Retailer impact

• Opens up new possibilities for rentals and hotel resorts, as it provides a unique watersports activity, complete with a tracking solution and a special Rentals app.
• High-visibility demo: self-inflation and assisted take-off stop foot traffic.
• Attach-rate machine: SipaMount drives add-on sales (racks, cases, lights, Insta360 camera).
• Premium positioning: BMW collaboration, Designworks design language, and top-tier materials support margin.
