About the RaceBird
Best For
- Following electric-marine racing technology and championship development
- Technical comparison with high-performance foiling prototypes
Performance in Context
E1 lists 50 knots, or 93 km/h, and 150 kW. Range is not a consumer-cruising metric because the 35 kWh system is optimized around race heats, controlled charging and team-managed energy strategy.
Battery and Charging
The RaceBird uses a 35 kWh Kreisel battery and bespoke event charging supplied for the championship. E1 does not present this as a marina-ready owner charging package.
Availability and Pricing
RaceBirds are manufactured for teams competing in the E1 championship and are not advertised for retail purchase. E1 says the technology may influence future commercial boats, but no consumer RaceBird order programme is published.
