How We Actually Built the World’s First Electric Jet Kayak

Описание: Today’s video is Jason walking you through what it actually takes to build the world’s first electric jet kayak. Not the highlight reel. The real process. You will see how FluxJet parts evolve from early 3D-printed test pieces, to functional prototypes, to final production components that can be manufactured consistently and survive real marine use.

He breaks down the progression of key systems like the jet drive, steering assembly, pedals and control hardware, the kill switch, ride plate revisions (including drainage details most people never think about), the 360 light evolution, and the battery box and wiring approach that’s designed to make setup simple and reliable.

Jason also teases a fun test near the start: using a standard 5Ah power tool battery with an adapter cable to see how far the kayak can go. Drop your guess in the comments and we’ll post the results in the next video.
