For New Zealanders passionate about marine innovation, the Tarform Raye introduces a groundbreaking way to explore the water. Tarform, renowned for its electric motorcycles, now ventures into marine territory with the all-electric personal watercraft (PWC) named Raye. This state-of-the-art PWC is inspired by the elegance of the manta ray, resulting in a stunning and efficient design.
The Raye’s biomorphic design is crafted from sustainable materials, including recycled carbon fibre and a proprietary plant-based composite. This eco-friendly approach not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances the watercraft’s performance and durability.
Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the Raye’s capabilities. It reaches speeds of up to 80 km/h, powered by an electric waterjet propulsion system. With power configurations ranging from 70 to 120 horsepower, riders can enjoy instant torque and smooth acceleration. The Raye offers up to two hours of ride time on a single charge, making it ideal for adventures along New Zealand’s stunning coastlines. Also equipped with advanced features such as over-the-air software updates, machine learning, and sensor technologies. These innovations ensure a connected and evolving riding experience, adapting to the rider’s needs over time.
Starting at around NZ$110,000, bespoke models of the Raye allow for customisation to meet individual preferences. Whether it’s unique colours, materials, or additional features, each Raye can be tailored to its owner’s taste, offering a truly personalised watercraft.
Currently in development, the Tarform Raye represents a significant leap towards sustainable and high-tech marine travel. As it progresses, this innovative PWC promises to revolutionise personal watercraft with its blend of performance, technology, and environmental consciousness.
