The Valo Hyperfoil by Zukun Plan is an all-electric hydrofoiling vehicle that rides a couple of feet above the water.
It has an active stability system called Skyride that provides precise balance and agility. Rising above the water, it slices through waves without a splash and carves tight turns effortlessly.
The Valo Hyperfoil has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Riding Valo is pure exhilaration. Designed for zero wake and zero emissions, you can explore the beauty and tranquility of nature while leaving no trace.
The use of modern hydrofoils rather than a traditional hull produces a dramatic level of efficiency, providing an impressive range of 68 miles and a top speed of 42mph.
The hydrofoils rise up so Valo can operate in shallow water and can easily be loaded onto a typical trailer.
The styling of Valo draws inspiration from sport bikes, EVs, and personal watercraft, portraying its underlying performance, state-of-the-art efficiency, and craftsmanship.
