BMW, SipaBoards Launch Self-Inflating Electric Paddleboard at €3,990

The project carries Neue Klasse cues into watersports through a connected, app-guided design.

Overview

  • Sales begin immediately via BMW Lifestyle, select SipaBoards retailers, and bmw.sipaboards.com at a listed price of €3,990.
  • The board uses a 300-watt motor for assisted propulsion with a top speed of about 4 knots (approximately 7.5 km/h).
  • Two included 90 Wh battery modules deliver roughly 1 to 3.5 hours of assist, with an Extended dual-180 Wh option planned for spring 2026 to reach about 3 to 7 hours.
  • The integrated system self-inflates the board and is controlled from a carbon-fiber paddle with a Bluetooth remote, with a safety cut-off that stops the motor if the paddle slips into the water.
  • BMW Group Designworks applied Neue Klasse styling to a 3.65 m by 0.82 m, two-person board that weighs up to 14.9 kg with motor, adds LED underlighting, and provides 17 mounting points plus an app for GPS routing and telemetry.
