Ready to take your surfing to the next level? Electric hydrofoil surfboards combine the freedom of traditional surfing with the power of electric propulsion, letting you effortlessly glide above the water. But whether you’re upgrading your ride or building a board from scratch, one thing is key: choosing the right battery and motor system.
At TAME BILLOW, we specialize in high-performance, customizable eFoils engineered for thrill and efficiency. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials for selecting the optimal components for your board—and how to get the most out of every session.
🔋 Power and Range: Finding the Right Balance
The motor and battery define your board’s speed, range, and lift power. When choosing components, consider:
Rider weight
Desired cruising and top speed
Average session duration
A high-voltage battery paired with a powerful motor will deliver greater thrust and longer ride time—ideal for riders who want speed and endurance.
🛠️ Explore our full-performance builds like the EF03 eFoil or EF02 eFoil, designed for power without sacrificing efficiency.
⚡ Battery Capacity: Ride Longer, Ride Stronger
Battery capacity is measured in ampere-hours (Ah), which determines how long your board can run.
Higher capacity = longer ride times
Lower capacity = lighter weight and quicker charge
Choose based on your typical ride duration and how far you want to go. At TAME BILLOW, we use custom lithium-ion battery packs engineered for balance—high energy density with low weight.
🧪 Battery Type: LiFePO4 vs. LiPo
The two most common battery types for electric hydrofoil surfboards are:
LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate): Safe, stable, long-lasting
LiPo (Lithium Polymer): Lighter, higher energy density, more compact
TAME BILLOW eFoils feature marine-grade Li-ion systems, offering a strong mix of safety, longevity, and performance across all our models—from the Ultima F3 to the F3 Bodyboard.
⚙️ Motor Power: Get the Thrust You Need
Motor power (in watts) affects how quickly you can get up on foil—and how fast you can stay there.
More watts = more thrust and speed
But also higher energy use
We recommend matching motor power to your riding style and skill level. Heavier riders or those riding in choppier waters may benefit from more powerful motors, like those featured in the Barco Kart Turbo.
🔄 Efficiency: Maximize Every Charge
Efficiency determines how much of the battery’s stored energy actually gets converted into forward motion. Look for:
High-efficiency brushless motors
Low-resistance, balanced battery systems
Intelligent energy management systems
Our electric surfboards are engineered with optimal battery-motor pairing, ensuring smooth, long-lasting rides with every charge.
🌊 Waterproofing and Marine Durability
Hydrofoil surfing means direct exposure to saltwater, so your battery and motor need to be:
Fully waterproof (IP67 or higher)
Built with corrosion-resistant materials
Sealed with protective insulation and coatings
All TAME BILLOW components are marine-tested and waterproofed, built to handle any aquatic condition.
🔐 Safety Features: Ride with Confidence
Your electric surfboard should protect you while maximizing performance. Always ensure your battery and motor system includes:
Overcharge & discharge protection
Temperature regulation
Short-circuit prevention
At TAME BILLOW, safety is non-negotiable. Every board is equipped with intelligent power management and protection systems, ensuring a safe, stable ride every time.
🔌 Compatibility & Seamless Integration
Installing or upgrading your system should be simple and seamless. Make sure:
The motor and battery fit your board’s dimensions
The connectors and controller interface are compatible
Everything integrates into the board’s control and power systems
All TAME BILLOW boards are designed as fully integrated ecosystems—each component working together for a smooth, powerful, and intuitive experience.
