The Geneinno S2 is a lightweight, portable, colorful sea scooter that opens up oceans of possibilities for watersport lovers!
The Specs
Streamlined and cleverly designed, the $400 Geneinno S2 weighs less than 6 pounds but provides 22 pounds of thrust. That’s enough to get you up to 2.7 miles per hour underwater, though the two-speed gearing system allows you to travel at a more sedate 2 miles per hour if you wish. The scooter can reach depths of up to 98 feet. That’s pretty impressive from a device with the dimensions of a mini laptop.
The secret is in a powerful lithium-polymer battery that provides 97 watt-hours of power (that translates to about 45 minutes of operation). The magnetic charging port juices the S2 up in approximately 1.5 hours.
We love this lithium-polymer battery because it’s airplane safe. And with a sea scooter this small, you’re gonna want to take it on vacation! So go ahead and toss it in your carry-on.
If you lose track of the S2 while underwater, don’t worry. It has a slightly positive buoyancy — not enough to fight you during use, but enough to raise it gently to the surface should it slip out of your hands.
Built to Last
Smart design choices make the S2 a tool (toy) that is worth the investment.
First of all, there’s the motor. If you want your powerful electric device to last, build it brushless. The reduced friction dramatically increases the longevity of the motor. That’s why Geneinno went brushless in this design, and the choice pays off.
The motor also has an anti-rust coating. Another upshot? You can enjoy this sea scooter in saltwater as well as fresh.
Finally, the S2 comprises only three major components. The simplicity of design translates to a lower probability that something will break (think about how often your computer-powered car throws a code).
Made for Fun
You should get about 1,000 hours of enjoyment from the S2. That’s a lot of days at the beach, which is nice because this sea scooter is perfect for diving, snorkeling, or swimming. Make sure you take advantage of the handy action-camera mount to record all your underwater adventures. This mount also doubles as a light-attachment point if you need to illuminate some darker territory.
The S2 app tracks all of your underwater journeys and makes it easy to share with the press of a button. You can also monitor active dive metrics from the app to keep track of your significant others while they explore.
So go on and give the Geneinno S2 a try. It’s so small and fun; you won’t want to let your kids use it!
