Configuration Design of Pedal-assist Electric Hydrofoil Water Bike

Electric mobility offsets the impact of fossil fuels and reduces noise. Electric water bike is an environment sustainable solution for clean transportation. But, electric batteries do not offer the same level of energy density as fossil fuels. Thus, for the same level of performance, an electric system must be more efficient. Hydrofoil is one of the most efficient watercraft. Hydrofoil supports the weight of the water bike and lifts it out of the water to decrease drag. This project will develop an electric hydrofoil water bike. The developed water bike is lightweight, portable, fast, quiet, and environmental friendly. It can help us to do sports, explorations, and near-shore rescue.
