Description
The Foil Drive Assist MAX Starter Kit is built for progression, priced for entry. Part of the Foil Drive range, it bundles the full MAX Base Kit with the Sport Battery and Standard Complete Motor — everything you need to get on the water and start riding.
Want to foil more, fast-track the learning curve and enjoy more conditions, more often? Foil Drive is an electric foil assist that grows with you, whether you're a complete beginner chasing the thrill of flying above the water or an advanced rider seeking untouched locations.
Who It's For
- Discipline: Surf, wing, downwind, wake and flatwater foiling
- Level: Complete beginners through to riders wanting an accessible entry point into the Foil Drive ecosystem
- Best for: Riders who want the full MAX system experience without paying for the largest battery or highest-power motor upfront
Key Features
- Full MAX Base Kit – identical build quality, V3 controller and cross-range compatibility as every other MAX configuration
- Standard v2 Complete Motor – delivers plenty of power across all foiling disciplines
- Sport Battery – enough runtime for a genuinely good session
- V3 Wireless Throttle Controller – with charging pad, included as standard
- Complete accessory kit – carry case, hardware, tools and spare parts included, ready to ride out of the box
Real-World Feel
This is the same Assist MAX experience as the higher-spec configurations — same build quality, same V3 controller, same compatibility across the Foil Drive ecosystem — just paired with the Standard motor and Sport battery to hit a more accessible price point. The Standard Motor still delivers plenty of power across all disciplines, and the Sport Battery gives you enough runtime for a proper session rather than a token taster. It's a genuine starting point, not a stripped-down compromise.
Setup / Fit
The Starter Kit comes complete and ready to fit to your mast — Base Kit, Sport Battery, Standard Complete Motor, controller, charger, case and hardware are all included, so there's nothing extra to source before your first session.
Materials
- Includes: MAX Base Kit, MAX Sport Battery, Standard v2 Complete Motor
- Controller: V3 Wireless Throttle Controller with charging pad
- Charger: 40V with UK AC lead
- Extras: Foil Drive carry case, complete hardware kit, tools and spare parts
Pairs Well With
The Starter Kit is ready to fit straight to your mast — if you later want more power or runtime, you can upgrade to a higher-spec Assist MAX battery or motor without replacing the whole system.
Why We Stock It
Electric foil assist can be a big investment, and the Starter Kit gives new riders a genuine, full-quality entry point rather than a cut-down demo unit. We stock it because it lowers the barrier to trying electric-assisted foiling without compromising on the core Foil Drive experience.
