How much power does it use could you power it with a 18v cordless drill battery like I do with my wash down pump

It's going to be nuts in the coming years with electric motors and battery powered toys. I'm even blown away by my electric bike a tiny 250watt motor can pull me up a steep hill. If too purchase a new petrol powered car these days I reckon your nuts.

petrol car will be the past, elec is the new thing.
I'll take up foiling once elec foil gets cheaper.

I've had exactly the same idea teatree. Wasn't sure what size to get or which battery to run it off. I might let you do the experimenting!!!

Let us know how it goes.

What type of battery and motor is the fliteboard guy down the coast using ?
Battery needs to be compact and light.
