Entry for INOVATION AWARD – COASTO, E-motion
For 2022, the French high-end water sports brand, COASTO, introduces its latest innovation to its collection with an inflatable stand-up-paddle integrating an electric motor.
With the E-motion, even the most distant coast becomes accessible: discover unexplored shores with ease, simplicity and in all safety.
A unique concept that will appeal to all generations and levels, from beginner to advanced. The E-MOTION is the result of Coasto’s bold creations: a motorised inflatable Stand-Up Paddle.
This approach is in line with today’s innovation trend in board sports on water, which are increasingly turning to electric technology as a means of propulsion, such the electric scooter.
The E-motion has a motor with an autonomy of 1h30 and a removable battery.
With a length of more than 3 metres (9’8”) and a width of more than a metre (3’3”), this Stand-Up Paddle features exceptional stability. The E-MOTION benefits from the same technologies as all Coasto inflatable Stand-Up Paddles – Dropstitch and Double Layer Fusion – for unrivalled buoyancy. For maximum safety, the E-MOTION is powered by a rechargeable electric battery giving you a 90-minute ride at a maximum speed of 6 km per hour.
A 180-minute battery is available as an option. The handlebars are equipped with cruise control and forward/reverse functionality, offering great manoeuvrability.
In the event of a fall, the E-motion is also equipped with a magnetic circuit breaker for safe navigation.
The entire surface is covered with a non-slip EVA mat.
9 reinforced neoprene handles have been placed along the board and in the centre. Enjoy the advantages of an easy grip and better safety, and attach a paddle. The E-MOTION features a 180kg maximum load capacity, to ride alone or with a partner.
It is the ideal ally for an outing on a lake, to marvel on turquoise waters around creeks and coves, or to simply go at one’s own pace.
For added comfort and convenience, the E-motion comes with a carry bag on wheels that fits the stand-up-paddle and a separate case, also on wheels, for the motorised system!
A twin-action manual inflation pump is included, as well as a safety leash, removable fin, and paddle. With handy front cargo strap, take a picnic lunch along.
