CAYAGO AG, a German manufacturer based in Bad
Salzuflen, has built its SEABOB brand around one specific promise:
high-performance water sleds powered entirely by electricity rather than
combustion engines. Its newest model, the SEABOB SE63, was developed in
collaboration with Italian carmaker Automobili Lamborghini, marking the
electric water scooter's move from a design collaboration announcement into a
real product now being shown publicly ahead of production.
The SE63 name carries a specific meaning: SE
stands for Special Edition, while 63 refers to 1963, the year Automobili
Lamborghini was founded. CAYAGO has worked with outside designers before,
including Studio F. A. Porsche on its existing SEABOB F9 series, but this marks
the company's first collaboration specifically with Lamborghini.
The SE63's cockpit carries a start button
styled after the ones found in Lamborghini's own super sports cars, paired with
a central carbon element drawn from the same visual language. The digital
speedometer is designed to echo the distinctive digit style used on
Lamborghini's dashboards, extending that automotive design identity onto a
piece of water equipment rather than treating the branding as a surface-level
badge.
Underneath that styling sits real material
engineering: the drive system uses a carbon fiber motor shaft, paired with
structural parts made from titanium and magnesium. At 35 kilograms, the SE63 is
light enough for a person to move around a boat deck without needing lifting
equipment, despite the more substantial materials used throughout its
construction.
CAYAGO measures the SE63's output using a
metric it calls thrust performance, or TP, calculated from a formula combining
thrust, vehicle weight, and electrical power; the SE63 is rated at 162 TP. The
scooter offers two distinct drive modes: a normal mode suited to underwater
travel, and a sport mode that significantly increases torque to push the
vehicle toward its maximum performance. Electrically extending side wings
deploy to add stability when the SE63 is being handled on the water's surface
rather than submerged.
Beyond the core scooter, CAYAGO offers an
optional Performance Board that attaches to the rear of the SE63, letting a
rider switch to a prone riding position instead of the standard grip-and-tow
stance. The board's underside carries a hydrofoil shaped to generate lift,
allowing the combined vehicle to transition into a planing state, skimming
across the surface, within seconds rather than building up to it gradually.
With the Performance Board fitted, CAYAGO states the SE63 can reach a top
surface speed of 35 km/h, a distinct mode of use from the underwater and
standard surface riding the base scooter is built around.
The SE63 was unveiled at a digital product
launch before appearing physically at a major European boat show, a sequencing
that let CAYAGO build public interest ahead of having any finished units to
show in person. Production itself hasn't started yet: CAYAGO has stated
manufacturing is planned to begin in the second quarter of this year, with the
SE63 reaching SEABOB's distribution partners only afterward. That means
everything described here, including the exact performance figures, reflects a
finalized design rather than a product that's already been tested at scale in
customers' hands.
CAYAGO frames the SE63 as its most capable
model to date, a claim consistent with the specific engineering choices
described, though it's the kind of positioning any manufacturer makes about its
newest flagship. The more interesting open question is what a single
collaborative, limited-run model like this signals for CAYAGO's broader lineup:
whether the materials and design ideas developed here- the carbon fiber shaft,
the extending wings, the Performance Board's hydrofoil- eventually filter down
into SEABOB's standard product range, or remain specific to this one
Lamborghini-branded edition.
