The ORCA is the first electric jet ski model made by Taiga motors. While electric jet skis from the major players are all on the way, the Orca is here. Taiga motors have focused on electric jet skis and motors for a while but their ORCA Electric PWC is going to be their cheapest model, making it more affordable for entry-level riders.

In order to provide a cheaper electric model of jet ski Taiga motors have fitted the jet skis with a 90 kW and a smaller 20 kWh battery pack for their different models. Although it hosts a smaller battery pack the affordable ORCA Electric PWC model can still reach speeds of 37mph on the water. It can also last up until 2 hours before needing a recharge.

This lightweight craft is stable and reliable on the water’s surface and it’s lightweight hull makes it excellent for turns, with great control and maneuverability. The Taiga ORCA jet ski is an excellent option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and fuel consumption.
