Sea scooters, in this case not to be confused with jetskis, offer a more personal “you and the elements” feel, both on and under water, not often found with powered water toys. However, for a truly awesome experience, you should take a look at the appropriately named Cayago Magnum.
For starters, the design is incredible. It looks straight out of Batman’s big ol’ cave of badass goodies. Everything from the aerodynamics to the heads-up display are refined to near perfection. Its one of those designs for which you actually dress up for to look cool enough to be seen with. Not surprisingly it won the German Reddot Design Award 2009.
Cayago put real effort into pimping this toy by tuning it with a 10 horsepower electric jet stream engine propelling it to about 30km/h. Electric also means environmentally friendly, so the eco-minded among us won’t have to chain protest before getting in on the action. Power is drawn from 30 Li-Ion batteries weighing in at 1kg each allowing for approximately 4 hours of relieving yourself in the water. In case you get lost the on board navigational system will point you in the right direction and the sonar location technology will point out more frightened scuba-divers to play chicken with.
The Magnum is a limited edition high-powered version of its less daring (but still very cool) sibling: the Seabob(as seen in the video). Only 100 are intended to be made, but seeing the coolness factor makes me wonder why on earth Cayago would limit this toy for the lucky few who have enough bankroll to finance it. It would be a waste for Cayago to treat it as a a piece of art simply due to the fact that, when it comes down to it, it still remains a seascooter…
