haha applies to that and the other things listed on the website.

It's the samba, but electric. Big whoop.
I thought the couches nowadays go 80 mph, not 65.

Get me a Stand up NOT a couch and I am sold......
I don't care about the futuristic look and crap, Just a stand up.....
Even better PROVIDE THE POWER PLANT.
Make it so that it can be retrofitted to any Hull with some hacking.
Do that and I will be the first one to own the "Zapter" (electric Rickter?)
And I will be the first one to Hit the Norcal surf while showing the Bird to all them Hippies....

ahhaha... thanks guys. But don't give the samba guys too much of a hard time. Looks to me like they have some interesting ideas. I'm excited to see what happens. 65 is pretty fast, and I'm surprised to see numbers posted before the concept boat hits the water. But I'm stoked they are doing it.

Interesting, is what it is.....
Everything promoted by Samba, and all the other subs; Samba XRS, Green Samba, have all been a figment of someones greed. 'read desire', the proof is in the puddin' pops', where are the videos of the $28K Samba 4-stroke? Now, we see a concept of the electric, can we at least see a video of the Samba XRS? Seems it is really secretive about this type of info. I know (because I designed) the original Samba, that it was not ready for production. The 'evolved' Samba almost hits the mark, but he is off by measurable design degrees. The green Samba is something that is quite a few years off. The battery tech is not there, and he still needs to work on the Design.
23 months go by, and all we can see is stills of a 2 stroke 800cc, and renderings of everything else?
Ball bustin', and ready to break your jaw, That's the old Samba....what's new, besides a high gloss 8x10
Rodrigo Silveira and Kristopher Merck have nothing but vaporware, (rod, that wasn't the right sketch to use) {several reasons}they missed the mark. But who knows...
he might BS the next guy into thinking 'Slithera Group' actually knows what they are doing...God knows he has convinced his brother. You would think, his brother, Allijando (sp) Silveira, is smarter than that. But the (Brasilian) Jungle must have got to his brain. Or the doondatta Tribe? Wink Wink
Has anything been produced (let alone profitted) by the Silveira Group, or are we still in R&Dm, when do we see something other than Computer Graphic renderings.
One last issue. (For the love), Rod, Could you created anything less mundane?, Aside from the slick rendering, the design is for
e.
I'll let you overload, then you see the right approach

The noise? Seriously? Ever hear the Baja type boats when they divert their exhaust above the waterline and take off?
The only real problem with jetskis are the couches ridden by hourly renters and the weekend warriors who care nothing of safety.
I think an electric couch, that didn't look all goofy, would be cool. I like taking cruises up the rivers and bayous and could see many benefits; however, my guess is that the price would put it out of my range.

Looking at the photo there, are they trying to market it to meth heads?
