The Narke Electrojet is an electric jet ski that promises to eliminate the
hazardous chemical emissions typically given off by personal watercrafts
(PWC).

Narke replaces a traditional jet ski engine with a 45-kW electric motor and
lithium-ion battery, protecting the water and shoreline from exhaust fumes
and oil pollution. Research from the late 90s proves that just two hours of
exhaust emissions from a PWC is equivalent to driving a 1998 automobile
130,000 miles. Yeah, not good.

Not only does Narke drive cleaner than a ’98 car, it also looks sexier.
Imagine a futuristic jet ski with smartphone integration and digital
dashboard, suited for the likes of suave 007 chase scenes and Bruce Wayne
vacations.

The not-so-sexy aspect of the Narke is the fact that its throttle peaks at
just 35 miles per hour.

Yes, 35 mph feels faster on water than it does on land, but die-hard jet ski
fans might be a smidge underwhelmed. Narke is not marketed, however, as a
speed machine. Instead, its website says, “you cruise slowly on your Narke,”
as the Electrojet was also designed to be nearly silent compared to the
arrogant vroom-vroom of normal jet skis.

Narke was also made to be used with a wakeboard, where a driver can take out
another adult or two kids for wave-riding. One half of Narke’s marketing
makes it seem like the green jet ski was designed for rich guys and their
beach babe (a la every ’80s movie ever made), but Narke is making a point to
say their Electrojet is suitable for family members and kids as well.

One charge lasts roughly 1.5 hours. Which isn’t bad, given the fact that
you’re doing this emissions-free. Recharging the battery takes about two
hours, but that gives you a break to hydrate, refuel, and get back on the
water. However, if you’re itching to make waves again, check your smartphone
to get a percentage-by-percentage update on how fast it’s juicing up.

All the smartphone integration capabilities are not yet set as Narke isn’t
available for purchase … but they’re getting close, with a probable price
tag of €44,000. The Electrojet has undergone test drives and is moving fast
to become the first of its kind silent and clean-emission electric PWC. Free
Form Factory announced a similar concept in 2017, but nothing has hit the
water quite yet.

Narke (based in Balatonvilágos, Hungary) says they conceived the idea a few
years ago when György Tóthfalussy and Péter Rádi combined their engineering
power and clean-energy passions with György Juhász and Ákos Réder, who
designed the electric-navigation COMO yacht.

By the way, though, you can sail the world in this solar zero-emissions
yacht.

Now it’s a race to become the No.1 Electrojet, and the tortoise Narke might
win over the hare.
