E1 RaceBird RC Hydrofoil Boat RTR Green radio-controlled electric boat

The RaceBird is a revolutionary electric boat distinguished by its futuristic design and Star Wars-worthy performance.

While electric boats already exist, they are not traditionally used for high-competition racing. However, a new era is dawning with the emergence of the RaceBird, an electric motorboat specifically designed for competition.

The rise of electric technologies in the maritime domain is evident, with initiatives such as the construction of the largest electric cruise ship in China and the launch of the first 100% electric tanker. However, the RaceBird represents a major advancement in this field, being the first electric racing boat developed for a world championship.

The Electric Sea Racing Limited (E1 Series), in partnership with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), has laid the groundwork for the world's first electric motorboat racing championship. This partnership has been crucial in accelerating preparations for the inaugural season, which began in 2023 with Saudi Arabia as one of the race venues.

The RaceBird, designed by SeaBird Technologies and Victory Marine, embodies innovation and performance.

Weighing 800 kg, this fully electric boat reaches impressive speeds of nearly 50 knots (93 km/h). On social media, videos of the RaceBird concept have been shared, revealing a futuristic design reminiscent of Star Wars' Eta-2 Starfighter ships.

When will the RaceBird electric powerboat world championships take place?

The design of the RaceBird draws inspiration from nature, particularly low-flying birds above water. Equipped with hydrofoil wings and an outboard motor, this boat is designed to rise up to 50 cm above the water, enhancing its performance and enabling dynamic and competitive races.

The UIM E1 World Championship is the world's first and only fully electric boat racing championship, sanctioned by the International Powerboating Union (UIM). Up to ten teams compete in iconic cities around the world in seven thrilling races.

The race dates for the 2024 season include:

the E1 Jeddah GP on February 2-3,

the E1 Venice GP on May 11-12,

the E1 Puerto Banús GP on June 1-2,

the E1 Geneva GP on June 29-30,

the E1 Monaco GP on July 26-27,

the E1 Rotterdam GP on September 7-8,

and the E1 Hong Kong GP on November 9-10.

E1 teams include renowned personalities such as Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, Virat Kohli, Didier Drogba, Sergio Pérez, Steve Aoki, and Marc Anthony, with other potential celebrities to come.
