Coasto E-motion Electric Stand Up Paddleboard - reviews

I am 79 years old and balance problems were making paddleboarding difficult, especially keeping up with younger friends and relatives. The e-motion board has solved my dilemma. Assembly is straightforward and I am able to do it myself, however it needs to be transported close to the water as it is impossible for one person to drag the two packs far. I am on the lookout for wheels that will allow me to pump the board up at the car and then pull the board and motor assembly to the water. Ideally a car park next to the water is the best location. If the waters edge is shallow then the board has to be dragged or paddled out to where it is just above the knees before the motor can be inserted. Conversely it has to be moored at the same depth and either an anchor or long rope is needed to sit on the bank and have a picnic. I am going to strap a cool box to the back, both to sit on and store cold drinks and food. Navigating is easy but it is quite noisy at full throttle and it is very stable even when motor vessels produce a noticeable wake. I am disappointed that I cannot get a spare battery to extend the range as they are out of stock. The plastic propeller guard is vey flimsy and has already broken meaning that I have had to repair it but not very satisfactorily. I am looking foreword to trying it out with my young grandchildren but will need the extra battery. Plenty of people on the banks of lake Windermere and on the steamers and other small vessels were filming me. I think the potential market is huge, I bought an electric bike 10 years ago and look how ubiquitous they are now despite initial sneering that it was cheating.

I am very satisfied, I recommend it !
