Americans agree. According to the US Coast Guard, more than one quarter of the population goes boating. That’s an amazing number considering how time-consuming, costly, and technically challenging owning a boat or personal watercraft is.Enjoying the world away from the everyday rat race should be easy, fun, and exciting. The vessel should be fast, quiet, and intuitive to operate. It should run for hours, taking you to your special spot and back without giving you range anxiety. It should make you feel connected to the world on your journey. It should not impact others with wakes or obnoxious noise on the way. It should not require fuel or oil changes. It should not pollute.Welcome to the Pelagion™ HydroBlade™.The HydroBlade combines high-performance electric propulsion with foiling. It combines riding a motorcycle with a flying carpet. It combines performance with sustainability, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. It is designed to offer an exhilarating, eco-friendly electric water sports experience that is easy to master. Unlike efoils, which can be exhausting, and traditional jet skis, known for being annoying, the HydroBlade provides a silent, emissions-free ride with its dual electric motors. Intuitive controls and responsive handling make hydrofoiling accessible even to beginners, ensuring everyone can enjoy the adventure.By investing in Pelagion, you're not just supporting a groundbreaking product; you’re joining a movement to propel the future of water sports towards a new horizon where thrilling experiences blend seamlessly with environmental responsibility.We are leaders in the industry. Investing in Pelagion means investing in Automatic Manufacturing Systems, our parent company overseeing two dynamic divisions: AccuPlace and Pelagion. With a 75,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and comprehensive infrastructure for design, engineering,\u0026nbsp; fabrication, assembly, shipping, and technical support, we are well-equipped to meet demand. More on our unfair advantage:A Legacy of Success:Having established ourselves as leaders in the fields of laboratory and industrial automation, we have consistently been recognized as the leader in all the different markets we have penetrated while maintaining world-class business performance. This success has been driven by our dedication to excellence across various brands. Our clients include industry giants like SpaceX, Tesla, Luxottica, Hewlett-Packard, Seagate, Western Digital, Google, Audi, and more.Strategic Reinvestment for Future Growth:We've reinvested millions into our manufacturing facilities, owned by the company, to set the stage for the next leap forward with Pelagion. Our facility, with cutting-edge engineering and manufacturing capabilities, has significant room for expansion as we introduce the Pelagion HydroBlade to the market. This strategic reinvestment over two decades has positioned us to multiply our revenue streams exponentially.Fully Integrated, Home-Grown Excellence:Automatic Manufacturing Systems\u0026nbsp;stands apart in its commitment to vertical integration. Everything we do is home-grown and native—minimal reliance on third parties, ensuring end-to-end control over the manufacturing process. Our ability to deliver high-quality products from concept to completion under one roof sets us up for unparalleled success.​​The global water sports market is rapidly expanding, fueled by rising disposable incomes, increasing interest in adventure tourism, and a growing focus on health and wellness.Similar to a jet ski or foil board, the HydroBlade is designed primarily for water sports enthusiasts seeking leisurely fun on the water.However, the HydroBlade also has potential applications beyond traditional use:Silent Eco-Tours: Provide eco-friendly, quiet tours through delicate marine environments, allowing tourists to enjoy nature without disturbing wildlife.Rapid Response Vehicle: Serves as a swift response option for open water-based emergencies.\u0026nbsp;STEM Education: Facilitate STEM programs in educational institutions by demonstrating hydrofoil technology and its applications.The Pelagion HydroBlade is an advanced electric hydrofoil that features dual motors, dual batteries, and handlebars for enhanced stability and control. It offers a high-speed, thrilling ride with a focus on safety and performance. The HydroBlade can reach a top speed of 40 mph (~65 km/h), making it one of the fastest e-foils on the market.The HydroBlade is equipped with dual 5.5 kWh batteries, providing over 4 hours of ride time on a single charge. The batteries can be fully charged in less than 4 hours using the provided 1600W charger.The HydroBlade has a magnetic key that disengages when a rider falls and e-stops operation and will have a user interface that displays battery status, range, and telemetry.The HydroBlade also offers a stable platform, smartphone integration, and most importantly, zero emissions, making it an environmentally friendly option.Drawbacks of Existing Solutions:Limited Battery Life: Most electric water sport devices suffer from short battery life, restricting the duration of use. Traditional eFoils typically provide only one or two hours before needing a recharge, and electric jet skis and electric jet boards offer even less time on the water.Steep Learning Curve: Mastering eFoils can be challenging, often requiring weeks or even months of practice to ride confidently. This steep learning curve can be a barrier for many potential users.Lack of Excitement: While sustainable surfboards and other non-motorized options offer eco-friendly alternatives, they fall short in delivering the thrill and speed that motorized water sports enthusiasts crave.We have been featured in a variety of media publications.
