Overview

The Foil Drive Assist MAX Kit w/ V2 Motor & 20cm Cable is the flagship electric foil-assist package from Australian manufacturer Foil Drive. Launched as part of the Gen2 product line, the Assist MAX replaces the first-generation Assist PLUS with a fundamentally redesigned architecture: the battery and controller now sit inside a streamlined pod that mounts between the hydrofoil mast and the underside of the board, eliminating the top-mounted enclosure used in the original system. The kit pairs a V2 motor — featuring a sleeker, more hydrodynamic housing with a dedicated motor plug — with the full suite of electronics, throttle controller, universal motor pods, and hardware needed to convert almost any foil setup into an electric-assist rig.

Foil Drive positions the Assist MAX as an all-discipline system suitable for prone foiling, wing foiling, downwind runs, dock starts, and flat-water cruising. The 20cm motor cable included in the base configuration is a mid-length option; longer cables (up to 70cm) are available as add-ons for deeper mast setups.

  • Throttle: V2 wireless controller with wrist strap and wireless charging pad

Who It's For

The Assist MAX is aimed at intermediate to advanced foilers who want electric assist across multiple disciplines rather than a dedicated e-foil. Riders who already own a hydrofoil board and foil can bolt the system on and gain motorized takeoff assistance, extended session times in marginal conditions, and the ability to reach downwind bumps without a support boat. The 40 V platform delivers noticeably more sustained thrust than the 28 V Gen1 Assist PLUS, making it a practical choice for heavier riders or those foiling in light wind where extra power on takeoff matters.

Because it uses Foil Drive's universal motor pods and a wide range of mast adaptors, the system is designed to mount on most major foil brands without permanent modification. Beginners can use it, but the price point and the assumption that riders already own foil gear make it a more common purchase for experienced foilers adding capability to an existing quiver.

In the Lineup

Within Foil Drive's current Gen2 range, the Assist MAX sits above the Assist Slim. The Slim uses the same V2 motor platform but pairs it with a lighter, lower-capacity battery pod oriented toward weight-sensitive disciplines like prone surf foiling. The Assist MAX, with its larger battery options (up to 498 Wh in the Power configuration), targets riders who prioritize runtime and raw thrust over minimal added weight. The now-discontinued Gen1 Assist PLUS remains available at a lower price point for budget-conscious buyers, though it lacks the under-board pod integration and 40 V power delivery of the Gen2 systems.

At roughly $5,975–$8,100 USD depending on motor and battery configuration, the Assist MAX competes in the broader electric foil-assist category alongside systems from Takuma and Lift Foils, though Foil Drive's universal-mount approach sets it apart from brand-locked alternatives that require proprietary foil hardware.
