‘Orca reinvents on-water powersports. Direct electric drive and unique hull shape deliver all-out control that cuts through water with agility and grace for a wholly new riding experience. Orca elegantly combines the performance-focused electric powertrain with near-non-existent throttle lag and bespoke design for outright fun and sustainable waterway adventure.’

“When you hit the throttle, it quickly accelerates and is capable of hitting speeds up to 65 mph. Fully charged, it can run for around two hours, with up to a 28-mile range before it needs recharging. For comparison, a similarly powered gasoline PWC would have a two- to three-hour run time and a 50-plus mile range. Still, if you’re looking to joyride on your local lake and have all the fun expected on a PWC, the Orca Carbon delivers. It features three modes of operation: Range for cruising, Sport for carving turns and playing in wakes, and Wild for a flat-out speed run. Monitor your speed, mode and charge on the 7-inch HD display.”

First implanted into our snowmobiles, then adapted and fine-tuned for Orca personal watercraft. Orca silently glides through water with up to 120kW peak power (160 hp). Orca delivers reliable, linear power for precise performance, ease in getting on plane, and ultimate thrills of flying through the water. ‘ – source https://www.taigamotors.com/products/orca
