Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can a complete beginner learn on the Flitescooter?
Fliteboard states that "complete beginners can learn to eFoil in minutes" on the Flitescooter and describes it as their "most beginner-friendly setup". The removable handlebars provide added support during the first few rides, and the included Cruiser 1800 C + 500 C wing set is engineered for maximum stability, early takeoff and smooth cruising at low to medium speeds — the combination that shortens the learning curve.
Are the handlebars really removable, or are they fixed in place?
Fliteboard's own description is "removable handlebars provide added support". They are designed to come off once a rider has built confidence, at which point the Flitescooter becomes a pure stand-up eFoil and rides like any other board in the Fliteboard range. You get a progression tool and a performance board in one purchase.
Who is the Flitescooter designed for?
Fliteboard positions it as "an excellent choice for yachts, resorts, docks and families" and as "perfect for beginners, heavier riders". In a superyacht context it is the eFoil you hand to first-time guests, to older guests who want to try without a steep balance curve, and to charter groups where not everyone is a confident watersport athlete.
What battery does the Flitescooter use and how long does a session last?
The Flitescooter runs on the Fliteboard battery platform paired with the Flite Jet 2 propulsion unit. Exact battery runtime depends on rider weight, foil configuration and cruise speed, so we confirm the battery specification and session expectations directly with Fliteboard at quote stage rather than publish figures that do not match your setup.
Can Mercer Yachting deliver the Flitescooter to Malta and the wider Mediterranean?
Yes. Mercer Yachting ships to every major Mediterranean yacht hub — Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, Monaco, Genoa, Athens, and Split — and worldwide by air or sea freight to any nominated port or agent. Typical Mediterranean delivery is 5–10 business days depending on destination and carrier, with rush options available for charter-season requests.
Does the Flitescooter come with a manufacturer warranty?
Every Flitescooter we supply ships through authorised Fliteboard channels with the full Fliteboard manufacturer warranty in place. We confirm the current warranty terms and registration process for your specific configuration at the point of quote, along with any extended coverage options Fliteboard offer for commercial or charter use.
Is the Flitescooter safe for charter guests who have never foiled before?
It is the Fliteboard setup engineered for exactly that scenario. The removable handlebars add support and predictability during the first sessions, the Flite Jet 2 is quieter and smoother than a traditional propeller, and the Cruiser 1800 C + 500 C wing combination favours stability over aggressive lift. A wireless Bluetooth safety key is included so crew can end the ride instantly if needed.
What is actually included when you buy the Flitescooter?
Fliteboard ships the Flitescooter complete with a premium Flite bag for protection, storage and travel, the Cruiser 1800 C + 500 C wing set, and a wireless Bluetooth safety key. The handlebar console comes with the award-winning Flite Controller installed. Mercer Yachting can supply additional spare batteries, chargers and progression wings alongside the core package.
