Six years ago we first heard about the MyCanoe, a two-person canoe that folds up like origami for transit and storage. Its makers are now back on Kickstarter with the smaller, lighter MyCanoe Solo 2.

There are now quite a few electric hydrofoil (e-foil) boards on the market, and most of them are pretty similar to one another. With its handlebars, dual motors and dual external battery packs, however, the HydroBlade definitely stands out.

If you like the idea of flying through the water like a dolphin, then the Seabreacher is the craft for you. However, what if you want to bring more than one friend along? Well, that's where the Jet Shark comes in.

This year, all-electric water toys took on many shapes and styles, from powerful add-on e-drives to hydrofoil submersibles. Before swapping the calendar out, take a look back at the hardest charging, deepest diving electric water toys of 2022.

What do you get when cross an ebike with a hydrofoil? That would be the Manta5, which we first heard about back in 2017. The 2nd-gen model has now been announced, and it features a new throttle-only mode, along with a much quicker learning curve.

It was just last month that we heard about Envo's Flex Snowbike, which lets users pedal across the powder. Well, the Canadian company hasn't forgotten about summer sports, as it's also working on an electric-assist catamaran.
