NEW LIFTFOILS E3 REVIEW | Efoil In-depth Review | Electric Hydrofoil with a folding prop
In this video I am testing one of the best efoils on the market, the new Liftfoils E3 Pro 4.2 Electric Hydrofoil Lift 3.
LIFT3 is the 3rd generation eFoil from Lift Foils, original brand that created the first efoil on the market.
This is an ultimate In-depth review including all the features, pros and cons, the new lineup, new wings, new Folding Prop Tests and much more!
Fly over water! No wind? No waves? No problem. The new folding prop is a complete game changer that opens new possibilities of riding swells unpowered!
My pro setup:
Lift3 4.2 pro size, 32 inch long mast,
200 Surf V2 Wing, a new folding prop, 48 surf v2 stabilizer wing and a new high aspect ratio 200 wing as well!
The new 200 Surf V2 Wing is a “bread and butter” of efoiling... Foiling isn’t about going fast or slow; it’s about the balance under your feet and the glide. This wing is the true magic carpet that does it all while feeling amazing.
LIFT3 – what’s new?
The new 2021 Lift Foils eFoils allow all riders to experience the thrill of flying over the water, with best-in-class specs across all categories
The LIFT3 and LIFT3 Elite are the company’s newest personal water vehicles, available in four completely new board sizes, providing the world’s most sophisticated adventure, and using the finest materials and state-of-the-art technology. Fly over water!
The 2021 lineup offers a customizable experience with 9 advanced hydrofoil wing options to pair with the Lift boards
The new eFoils are the lightest, most durable, longest-lasting, fastest, and most customizable on the market, setting a new standard for personal water sports
The LIFT3 boards are made from a new proprietary carbon fiber blend engineered specifically for eFoil performance. They also feature enhanced carbon masts and upgraded carbon fiber electronic boxes. Lift Foils has always offered most durable eFoils, but the new carbon fiber build makes the LIFT3 even 50% stronger.
eFoil e3 – new board sizes
The LIFT3 boards come in four new sizes: 4’2 Pro (127 cm), 4’9 Sport (145 cm), 5’4 Cruiser (163 cm), 5’9 Explorer (175 cm). These boards feature an updated shape for increased aerodynamics and maneuverability. Combined with the upgraded construction, the new sizes reduce the weight by 30% making the LIFT3 boards the lightest eFoil options on the market.
LIFT3 – Dynamic wing options
Lift has also launched nine new wings as part of its 2021 lineup, including three of its acclaimed high aspect wings. Carefully crafted for effectiveness, stability, and performance, the wings attach to the eFoil mast. The shape of the wing changes the eFoil riding experience offering a true balance between efficiency and turning. All wings are interchangeable across the LIFT2 and LIFT3 and work for multiple foil disciplines, including surfing, eFoiling, or sailing, allowing Lift to provide the most customizable eFoil experience. The following table is missing the 9th wing, which is the 60 Surf V2 only designed for big wave surfing and not applicable for the eFoil.
Elite boards option:
Hand Controller (adjustable trigger, GPS, colored display, new app)
Carbon Fiber Prop & Shroud
Premium Bag with Wheels
These boards will also have an enhanced carbon fiber propeller and shroud, featuring a quick-release mechanism that allows for swapping various components in seconds with no hardware needed. The tailored cases that come with the eFoil e3 Elite are lightweight with high-performance removable wheels, all of which can be easily broken down for storage.
