Fantastic video!! I had no idea there was a 'World Record' for Seascooters!! Your content is super cool... Here is my take on the Aquajet H2 product though for those genuinely interested in Seascooters. I'd like to point out that 9kmph is only 5.5mph.. There are plenty of Seascooters that can and do travel at a proven 5mph (0.5mph makes very little difference) and unlike the Hoverstar Aquajet H2, they are smaller, more compact, more agile, feel faster, and because they are more compact and running off compact Li batteries, the alternatives are also carry-on approved and can be taken as hand luggage on flights to pretty much any holiday destination. I think maybe the theoretical speed of the Aquajet H2 might be 9kmph, however it's weight and weigh probably doesn't benefit it in all honesty. It's competition, The Yamaha Seawing2 and RoboSea Seaflyer, are both very popular products around those people that know about Seascooters and they are affordable and easy to use. They do ALL the cool things use see the Hoverstar AquaJet H2 do in the promotional videos, and more. So question is... What disadvantage does the Aquajet H2 have over its competition? Here's a brief glance... AquaJet H2 - It dives to 20 metres Max, it weighs 14kg and due to it's cool looking wing design (which are removable) its big, and can be awkward to store, travel with or use in a swimming pool. RoboSea Seaflyer - Dives to 30 Metres, weights only 3.7 kg!! Is carry-on approved for flights to holiday destinations making travelling with it ridiculously easy and can be used in Pools too, without upsetting other swimmers due to it's compact design, while makes it feel more agile and quicker in the water too! Yamaha Seawing2 - This is basically identical to the Robosea Seaflyer, so has the same advantages. I do like the design concept of the Aquajet H2... It's just far too big, and hard to utilise in multiple applications in my opinion. If you are paying that kind of money, you want to be able to use it at every opportunity... The Sea, a swimming pool, in a lake, or gentle river etc! After you've been for a swim/dive in the sea, got out of the water and walked back up or along the Beach... Who wants to be carrying 14kgs!? It's quite a weight to carry for a long distance. Or say you wanted to stop for lunch at a Beach/Dive restaurant/Bar etc.. Would you wanted to be carrying something so big and heavy around? For people looking for great alternatives... I recommend checking out these companies on Instagram potentially. instagram.com/seascooter_uk/ instagram.com/aquatoys_uk/?hl=en www.aquatoys.co.uk/product-category/seascooters/ Seascooters are cool, environmentally friendly due to all electric power, and no harmful oils, fluids that can leak into the sea. They are made of plastic sure, but it's not single use plastic and if maintained correctly can provide years of fun, other people the chase to explore the natural habitat of marine life in the water with very little disturbance. I've used them for years, I'm a qualified BSAC Dive instructor and I rate the products and experience highly, for those who love the ocean and the beautiful wildlife in it! Best Wishes to all! :)
Point of FACT: This is a piece of junk. It is notoriously unreliable, it weighs a ton, it is actually NOTnimble at all underwater but cumbersome to even turn quickly. Anyone who has truly used this knows I am telling the truth. The "speed button" is very unreliable and will only likely work for a short time before failing. AND the company put this out to market and then abandoned it within 3 years. No help, no support and NO replacement parts. I paid over $1200 for this and got maybe a total of 10 uses out of it - and this with not one but 2 replacement right wings which house the failed (twice!) speed button. Now the distributor cannot help me because the manufacturer (another fail from SHENZEN) has not only stopped selling it but will not provide replacement parts. In short I got screwed. BUT it sure LOOKS nice. Do NOT buy new (if you can even find one now) DO NOT buy used - you have my guarantee the seller is trying to dump it in disappointment. It should be some kind of international crime that a company can make somethjing and then sell it worldwide only to dump it a few years later, leavinbg the consumer ripped off with no recourse. Be very suspicious of the Shenzen based company, HAVOSPARK that made this joke and be very cautious about any other products they may produce. You will be sorry if you waste your hard earned US dollars on their products
Wow..! Mine is MUCH FASTER than these results that you're getting! Maybe it's your unit.. Could that one be defective? ..And did you record the two lower speed setting results (this is a 3-speed scooter - 3 mph is the lowest speed setting, while 5.6 mph is supposed to be the highest).., You didn't mention that speed Adjustment button feature at all??? I am 6' 2" and 209 lbs. I get much faster results than you got - even with a tank, BCD, fins and a 5mm suit. Check your unit.. your results Can't be Correct. Great Review though - Keep up the great work.
Hi Miquael, thank you for taking the time to watch our video and provide feedback! All of the tests were conducted on the highest speed setting. You are correct, unfortunately, we did not mention the speed settings at all and this is something we will include for certain in future reviews. As for the unit being defective I highly doubt it. It works completely fine just the speed is lacking. To get really high speed (5kmph +) with a 1600 dollar scooter is a big ask and that is why we conducted these tests. Even A DPV such as the Ghost by Seacraft which has a battery of 2000W and costs 9000 euro only goes a speed of 5.6kmph. Of course, there is always a small chance the unit is defective. I would encourage you to try one of the tests we did with a similar scuba configuration and tell us your results. We all felt that the hoverstar feels very quick when using it but when you look back on video footage and GPS test results it looks and is much slower than it feels when using the unit yourself. Thanks for your advice and input it's very much appreciated! Let us know if you manage to test the speed yourself and how you get on :)
It would be awesome if they found a way to make into a vest or backpack kind of thing, that you could wear it, so it would propel you underwater, that would be the ultimate chill snorkeling session
I found this channel by chance and I’m glad I did. You guys are great!
Awesome Beatin really glad you like it. :):)
