AI Technical Summary
Existing electric watercraft propulsion systems for surfboards and stand-up paddleboards are limited by their design complexity, increased production costs, and reduced usability due to separate power and control units that require internal compartments or deck attachments, which can alter the balance and responsiveness of the board.
A sealed power and control module with a housing that includes an electric motor unit, electrical power source, and wireless communication capabilities, allowing for integration under the watercraft's hull without modifying its existing mounting patterns, enabling wireless control and improved hydrodynamic flow.
This solution provides a mechanically and electrically integrated propulsion system that reduces design complexity, maintains the board's balance and responsiveness, and allows for wireless control even when submerged, enhancing user experience and reducing fitness demands during watercraft activities.
