The NV1 | August '24
Hey everyone,
Welcome to The NV1: hydrofoiling news for curious minds. This month we explore how robotic and drone tech are helping shape electric vessel design. We deep dive into what it takes to foil your way to an Olympic journey and debate why boats shouldn’t be left behind in the race to net zero. ??
Ready? Let’s jump in. ??
Advanced Robotics Inspire ENVGO Hydrofoiling Tech
When ENVGO founder and CEO? Mike Peasgood became frustrated by the noise, pollution, and high maintenance of combustion engine boats, Mike sought a solution that would match the efficiency and cleanliness of electric cars. Not finding an existing solution, he brought together a talented team he knew worked well together during their time at Aeryon Labs.?
“We have a great team dynamic with a proven skill set.? We're excited to work together again and apply our engineering and product development experience to The ENVGO NV1.” - Mike Peasgood.
By combining talented individuals with a relentless hunt for sustainable marine tech the team are working to build a high-performance, sustainable outlook for the boating industry.
And the rest, as they say, is the future…
Max Maeder’s Hydrofoiling Journey to the Olympics
Kite foiling is one of the brand-new sailing disciplines for the Olympic Games in Paris. In the 2024 games, World, European, and Asian champion Max Maeder has been turning heads with his gratitude, humility, and will to win.?
Having first kiteboarding at the age of 6, Max quickly moved into kite foiling before getting a taste for the competitive edge of the sport that would lead him on the road to the Olympics.?
"It was the feeling of gliding on the surface of the water (that made him love the sport). You're flying on top of this little underwater airplane, and the thrill I got from that was enticing.”
Needless to say, we know where he’s coming from.
Thrill Seekers: No Need to Sacrifice Performance for Sustainability
We believe in pushing boundaries, do you? The ENVGO NV1 features a cutting-edge electric drivetrain that delivers exceptional flight performance, offering a 3x increase in range compared to conventional electric boats, while also drastically lowering your carbon footprint. ??
With our advanced technology, the ENVGO NV1 offers rapid acceleration and smooth handling, redefining what thrill seekers look for in a boating experience —clean, powerful, and unforgettable.?

Canada Sets Sights on Zero Emission Vehicles – But What About Boats?
The Canadian government has made huge commitments to achieve 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035. Amazing! So why don't we apply the same energy to the boating sector?
–We are.
Many boats still use diesel engines to get from A to B but imagine the impact we could have in achieving lower carbon emissions if they moved to electric, without sacrificing fun and exhilarating on-water performance.
ENVGO's hydrofoiling boats will significantly reduce CO2 emissions, protect shorelines from wake erosion, and avoid oil and gas from entering waterways ? ??
