Electric remote-controlled E1 RaceBird RC Hydrofoil Boat RTR White

The RaceBird is a revolutionary electric boat that stands out for its futuristic design and performance worthy of a Star Wars spacecraft.

While electric boats already exist, they are not traditionally used for high-competition racing.

However, a new era is dawning with the emergence of the RaceBird, an electric motor boat designed specifically for competition. The rise of electric technologies in the maritime sector is evident, with initiatives such as the construction of the largest electric cruise ship in China and the launch of the first 100% electric tanker.

The RaceBird represents a major advancement in this field, being the first electric race boat developed for a world championship.

Electric Sea Racing Limited (E1 Series), in partnership with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), has laid the foundation for the first world championship of electric motorboat racing. This partnership has been crucial in accelerating the preparations for the inaugural season, which began in 2023 with Saudi Arabia as one of the race locations.

The RaceBird, designed by SeaBird Technologies and Victory Marine, embodies innovation and performance.

With a weight of 800 kg, this fully electric boat reaches impressive speeds of nearly 50 knots (93 km/h).

On social media, videos of the RaceBird concept have been shared, revealing a futuristic design reminiscent of the Star Wars Eta-2 Starfighter ships.

The design of the RaceBird is inspired by nature, particularly low-flying birds above the water. Equipped with hydrofoil wings and an outboard motor, this boat is designed to rise up to 50 cm above the water, improving its performance and enabling dynamic and competitive races.

When will the RaceBird electric race boat world championship take place?

The UIM E1 World Championship is the first and only fully electric boat racing championship in the world, sanctioned by the International Powerboating Union (UIM). Up to ten teams compete in iconic cities around the world, in seven exciting races.
