RE: FAQ's: Momentum U2 Batteries and Chargers

Yes, the connectors on the U2 are completely waterproof and bespoke to the U2 so there is not an off the shelf option to connect up to it I'm afraid.

RE: Looking at the EZraft range - any advice on which electric motor to use?

Ah M10 all the way and feed in the acceleration a little more carefully than I did...

I had a short shaft on it

The transom on the EZraft will take a real hammering from the torque and with repeated use will almost certainly fail as it WAY beyond the design parameters for it.

However, we are looking into having the transom uprated so the largest 360 at least could potentially be used with the M10. With various other mods as well it will create a package that is properly capable of higher powered motors.

I was thinking if an M6 could just still be manageable on a Q360.
The M10 indeed sounds a bit crazy 😀

The idea of the M6 is that you could probably get on a plane with 3 adults.
not so much for top top speed.

Did anyone try an M6 as well?

Thank you Algie.

did the M10 have a long shaft or very long shaft when you had the insane (☺️) trip?

Thanks Algie

so basically it comes down to the connectors only.
I hope Momentum will let us have something soon.

U2 battery handle needs rounding?

We've had a customer ask about making the U2 handle more rounded to make it more comfortable for carrying longer distance.

This might be possible but will require significant retooling costs so is not being prioritised right now.

The Genasun kit is really good and we've used it many times in other circumstances.

At the moment however we do not have the option to charge via solar as we do not have a connector available as yet.

This is a feature on the factory list of To Do's but we don't have any timeline on it as yet (June 2026).
