The Narke Electrojet is one of the first production electric jet ski models, a carbon-fiber personal watercraft powered by a 45 kW in-house motor that reaches up to 55 km/h with zero emissions and a near-silent ride. It trades the noise and fumes of a combustion jet ski for clean power, sharp stealth-fighter styling, and the chance to actually hear the waves. Here is what makes the Narke electric jet ski stand out and how it performs.
Why an electric jet ski?
One of the most popular summer toys is the jet ski, and despite electric motor technology advancing further than we ever imagined, a true electric jet ski stayed rare for years. There was the stand-up Free Form jet ski linked to Nikola Motors, but it was not exactly the same. The Narke arrived to fill that gap with a sit-down electric personal watercraft built for series production.
What are the Narke electric jet ski specs?
The Narke borrows design cues from military stealth fighter jets, full of sharp lines and an aggressive frontal profile. Even the hull is pointy, designed to be as sharp as possible, a key difference compared to combustion jet skis. The structure is built out of reinforced carbon fiber for ultimate rigidity and weight saving. Powered by a 45 kW AC in-house designed motor, the Narke goes up to 55 km/h and charges from 0 to 80% in 2 hours. The battery is claimed to handle an hour and a half of normal use. Information is displayed on a digital dash that even comes with Bluetooth connectivity. Coverage by New Atlas and the official Narke Electrojet release confirm the carbon construction and powertrain.
Is the Narke electric jet ski ready for the water?
Narke tested the jet ski in Budapest and confirmed the model for mass production. One of the biggest drawbacks is its limited top speed, which is slower than some of the smaller conventional jet skis on the market. Battery life is also a consideration, since jet skis are often pushed to their limits rather than ridden calmly as Narke would suggest. Even so, this is a first-generation electric jet ski, and the formula can only improve from here as battery technology matures.
