I live in the bay area. Actually my house sits over the water in Tiburon. I think the range is perfect for this type of boat for the average person. The only boats I see going full gas are offshore racing boat. Not yachts, small craft.
Absolutely perfect!! I live next to The Great Lakes, The Ohio River and a ton of man-made lakes. This is a trailerable boat capable of managing the waters on all of those surfaces. Crist Craft, Carver and Sea Ray among others made their companies off of the waterways in my area. All of the companies above have forgotten their roots over the last 15 years and stopped making boats/yachts for this market and look what has happen to the sales of every single one of those companies!!! Riva thank you for being the class act that you always are and introducing this model! Is there a small cabin in this model like the standard ISEO? Can you do custom upgrades?
That is a fantastic boat for Lac Leman, Garda or Como. You can go from your home to a nearby restaurant with electric speed. Real speed. For ocean use it is useless.
They've been taking older classic Riva's and making them electric for a few years now. Horatio Pagani owned one, supposedly. But I don't think it's all that bad. Considering the laws for lakes now are getting stricter that soon I expect electric will be standard in 5 years all over Europe and most of America. The shocking thing is the range. I get that it's for lakes, but there will be some owner who puts it on a superyacht and then takes it out to the ocean and gets stuck when his showboating runs the battery to nil. An expensive toy. There are other brands, but not many that damn sexy!
I wonder if theyve updated the combustion Iseo cockpit to this. No word on their site, still showing the age old Iseo in the photos. Currently it has that failure of the chartplotter mount, looks really bad and old.
Interesting with battery power, the first example of a new type of boats. Test drive please. Possibly a boat for a tender for a very posh super yacht? 25 nautical for 25 knots yeah not much yet but a great start but for sailing on lakes river at the moment. Potentially after more research go faster for longer Interesting.
Do they add a faux roaring sound to simulate their REAL boats, kind of like the newer slot machines that pay in tickets play the "clink clink" of the coins in the chute via a speaker? (smile)
Electric battery are not environmentally friendly at all. I can see how the reduction in noise and pollution of lakes is great, but batteries are very harmful to create and we have no real answer to disposing them. Very stylish boat though
😂 And when a battery bursts into flames it can't be contained on aboat and no fire engines are coming. On land you can run, but out at sea you had better be an Olympic long distance swimmer. No charging stations at sea and battery life is contingent upon sea conditions. The cost of electricity to charge a boat will become prohibitive as energy costs go through the roof with regular outages on the way as electricity grids can no longer cope with poor supply from unreliable renewables. No thank you. Batteries should only be for hotel facilities on board and quiet anchorages. Diesel must remain. The risks at sea are way more than on the roads. You can keep this boat and let it rot with all the EV cars they can no longer sell. All the major car manufacturers are stopping production of EVs. Nobody wants them. Showrooms have 6 months stock of EVs and nobody wants them. Im sure some idiot will buy one.
Boats are the *_worst possible_* vehicles for electric drive. Absolute idiocy. Makes no sense in any case at all. The batteries are absolutely massive ecological disasters. Battery-electric drive isn't suited to boats at all. Boats are used too seldom to claw back any of the massive emissions from making the battery from any fake "low-emissions boating"...it just doesn't do enough miles. The batteries need massive heating and cooling for each little jaunt, and it's just overall nonsensical. The charging losses alone will be horrendous since the battery will need massive amounts of energy used for heating the battery for each charge, and it'll still have huge charging losses (I'll bet it'll be over 20% for each charge, maybe more since no doubt people won't wait around for the battery to cool or heat to exactly optimum temperature, and even when optimum that'll probably lose at minimum 10%)
For far lower CO2-emissions over the boat's lifetime to just use diesel, or if you want to be green then buy NEXBTL biodiesel to be far greener than EVs can ever be. Other choices: use a gasoline engine which can run on E85 or which has a CNG system installed which can then use biomethane or natural gas (alongside ordinary gasoline which will always remain a choice if no supply of the other fuels). All of these choices make the boat far lower in CO2 than battery-electric drive...for a fraction of the price.
I'm always ambivalent on this sort of thing. The US has a LOT of lake boats, so I can see one of these zipping around The Finger Lakes. The Great Lakes not so much.
This boat although ver beautiful will never be cleaner than a gas or diesel boat based on mileage. All it’s CO2 was produced in the making of the batteries and unless you drive it like a car to 180,000 miles you will never equal the CO2 output of a gas engine!
A very sad day for boating. Riva, the new Bud Light. Looks pretty but totally useless. Electrify and water don’t mix too well. I don’t care how safe the charging system is, accidents happen. As far as the fire risk is concerned (as EV evidence shows) remind me to change marinas if one berths in my marina. Just saying. 🙏
Gorgeous and with a petrol V8 it would be practical too.
Look forward to the sea trial 👍❤️🇬🇧
Riva. Absolutely beautiful. Shame about the ridiculous electric engine and no range.
a beautiful looking boat.
Agreed!
Another great video ! The rear view mirror is so you can watch the skier you are towing behind you. :)
Interesting idea for lake based boats. Looks very stylish 🫶
It's a beautiful boat but the limited range is problematic and presumably that could decline further as the battery ages?

Stunning looking boat 🥰❤️ Great video - love your new style thank you 🙏
It really is, thanks for watching Eva!
Im living on relatively small island in Croatia. I won’t be able to circle whole island cruising at 25 knots… what a shame

Beautiful color scheme!!!

Yes a very nice boat , but not a lot of chargers on the Solent .
Pretty boat ,but until technology gets more advanced can't see buying battery powered boats like this...Not worth the cost!

Interesting.
There is Riva...and then there is everyone else.
I don't think Riva knows how to make anything that isn't gorgeous. Would be nice if they did a hybrid model for better range.
You could just strap down a huge gas generator on the layout pad.
Do they add a faux roaring sound to simulate their REAL boats, kind of like the newer slot machines that pay in tickets play the "clink clink" of the coins in the chute via a speaker? (smile)
Please do not raise the volume that high when putting on the music, it is annoying.
Electric battery are not environmentally friendly at all. I can see how the reduction in noise and pollution of lakes is great, but batteries are very harmful to create and we have no real answer to disposing them.
Very stylish boat though
Kids toys are battery powered! No mention of weight and i'm betting close to a mil US
No way would I own a battery boat or car. Nice looking boat.
WHY?

🤔 it will make a great tender
A regular Iseo has a range of 250 nm (10x)
the tow ring is a nice touch but experiments with electric trucks have shown just how good electric is for towing. wah, wah.
Not so fond of the new music. It's too jarring and loud. I did like the more gentle music you used to have.

👌👌👌
Electric, oh dear, so Riva has fallen, shame.

Riva is now owned by 🇨🇳, so any sane Westerner will give this a hard pass!
"What is have they done with the Click Bait title?!?"
It cheapens the good contents.
beautıful
The motor is made in japan
Electric, big no no

sorry, not interested in anything battery powered
Thanks for sharing that important information.
Beautiful useless boat, damn shame
What an environmental disaster
