What kind of engine does it have?
A patented, single cylinder, two-stroke 330cc engine. The PSI SuperTorqueXT runs at 45 hp on the dyno and enables the jet pump to put out 350psi of thrust. The engine is 6.5 inches tall by 10 inches wide by 17 inches long. Upon final tooling our engineers state the engine will weigh only 38 lbs! PSI is also in development of a four stroke engine. Keep posted.
We are looking for mechanics to work with this new technology. Small engine experience a plus. Possible travel. Call Skip at 949-369-3920.
How fast does the Powerski Jetboard go? The PowerSki Jetboard runs at 35+ m.p.h. on flat water, which is extremely fast when you are walking on water. See the performance of this craft.
How much does a jetboard weigh? They are currently weighing in at 165lbs.
Maximum rider weight?
We call this a Big Boys Toy. With several riders around 350lbs, the craft has proven itself effective in allowing larger individuals the opportunity to get up on plane and have the ride of their life.
How can I transport them?
This is one of the key features to the futuristic nature of this craft. The Jetboard can fit inside an Explorer or truck bed. They also can be transported on surf racks and can easily be carried on small to large boats. Think about how easy it is to store in your garage, or bedroom for that matter. Lean it against the wall and you have taken literally no floor space. Perhaps hang one from the ceiling with support straps. To see more go to Rackem web page.
Is it hard to ride?
Absolutely not! We have a 100% success rate to date. We have had over 800 people ride the PowerSki Jetboard; some overweight, out of shape, non-sportsman like. Everyone has been able to get up and ride. The first time rider starts out like double skis with their feet facing straight and send them on their way. They find it very easy to go straight and when they are ready to turn they simply lean left or right and begin their turn. As they get a little more solid, they will then begin changing their stance to a sideways position. To see more go to 1st Time Riders web page.
Those people who have had experience with any type of sideways sports such as surfing, water skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding or even those that have ridden stand up jet skis will get right into the sideways stance and begin solid turns from the get go.
How much will they cost? This first year the Igniter 330SS has a suggested retail between $5,995.00 and $6,995.00. Due to the high demand the consumer needs to contact the dealership closest to them to lock down a Jetboard for this first year.
