Sylents is a highly efficient electric propulsion solution for watercraft that dramatically reduces operating and service costs. Boats with Sylents technology on board emit zero emissions and make no noise. Sylents has several technical advantages for transport on water. The patented drive technology is ideal for shallow water applications. It is maintenance-friendly, block-free and injury-free.
e.g.: PWCs powered by inefficient combustion engines are fuel hungry. They consume liters of petrol. Worldwide 2.5 million PWCs are on the market. They emit 104.850.000 tons CO2 (41 tons per PWC/year). This is as much as all cars in Germany (43 M) together pollute the planet per year. The Zero Emissions Sylents propulsion system is suitable for use in protected waters.
With this technology, an electric drive will be available on the market for the first time as a so-called "inboard" (boxed system) as a water jet drive system suitable for Kayaks, SUPs or surfboards.
