BMW x SipaBoards Tourer Electric — Overview
The BMW x SipaBoards Tourer Electric is the limited-edition collaboration between SipaBoards and BMW Group Designworks — an e-SUP that channels the spirit of BMW’s Neue Klasse onto water. Built on SipaBoards’ premium 12’0″ X-Woven Dropstitch touring platform and dressed in three signature BMW Neue Klasse X colours (Violet Rush, Mint Blue, Storm Grey), this is the most exclusive SipaBoards eSUP in the 2026 range.
Under the BMW skin sits the third-generation SipaDrive 2.1 water-jet motor with integrated GPS, a 5000 Lumen LED night-light and SipaBoards’ newly developed near-silent propeller. The modular Dual+ Battery System delivers up to 5.5 hours of cruising autonomy on the Extended pack — enough to chase real horizons. A BMW-Neue-Klasse-inspired toggle remote with ambient lighting and haptic feedback completes the premium spec.
Freude Mode — BMW Joy of Driving on Water
A Neue-Klasse-inspired toggle switch on the paddle remote shifts the drive from smooth Cruise mode to Freude Mode — doubling power instantly for spirited acceleration. Ambient lighting, haptic feedback and effortless one-finger control transform every ride into the BMW Joy of Driving translated to water.
Neue Klasse Design + Three Limited Colours
Designed by BMW Group Designworks, the e-SUP brings the visionary BMW Neue Klasse design language from road to water. Available in three signature finishes inspired by the BMW Neue Klasse X: Violet Rush, Mint Blue and Storm Grey. Personalised motor covers available on request.
SipaDrive 2.1 + Custom BMW Propeller
The SipaDrive 2.1 motor is encased in high-grade BMW Directoire Blue polycarbonate with anti-debris protection. A newly developed near-silent propeller, built specifically for the BMW collaboration, delivers efficient zero-emission thrust. Integrated GPS and a 5000 Lumen LED complete the premium drivetrain.
Dual+ Battery System (up to 5.5 h)
Modular two-brick battery configuration scales from 180 Wh standard (up to 3 h) to 360 Wh Extended pack (up to 5.5 hours of cruising). Battery packs are upgradable and travel-friendly: the 90 Wh brick is IATA-approved for air travel — fly with your power source.
SipaMount Add-On System
The BMW x SipaBoards e-SUP introduces the SipaMount System: 17 flush-mounted anchor points on the deck for accessories — action cameras, cargo nets, travel gear, dry bags. Built from recycled polycarbonate and reinforced rope loops, completely flush with the surface.
Aerospace-Grade Materials
X-Woven Dropstitch core with double-rail side reinforcements. Alcantara-inspired EVA foam deck with multi-spherical grip pattern. Carbon-fibre paddle and battery cells used in electric aviation — every detail engineered for maximum durability and performance.

Who is the BMW x SipaBoards e-SUP for?
The BMW x SipaBoards Tourer Electric is built for clients who want the most exclusive e-SUP in the SipaBoards range:
- BMW collectors and lifestyle clients who want the matching watersport companion to their Neue Klasse vehicle
- Premium yacht and superyacht owners who deploy the most design-forward e-SUP on the swim platform
- Design enthusiasts who value the BMW Group Designworks aesthetic and the SipaMount accessory system
- Charter operators in the premium segment who differentiate with a limited-edition e-SUP for guest sessions

FAQ — BMW Edition, Freude Mode & Touring
What makes the BMW x SipaBoards different from the standard Tourer Silver?
The BMW edition uses BMW Group Designworks design language, three Neue Klasse colours (Violet Rush, Mint Blue, Storm Grey), a Directoire Blue motor housing, a custom near-silent propeller, the Neue-Klasse-inspired toggle remote with ambient lighting and haptic feedback, and the SipaMount System with 17 flush anchor points. The underlying X-Woven Dropstitch hull, SipaDrive 2.1 motor, GPS and 5000 Lumen LED are shared with the Tourer Silver.
What is Freude Mode?
Freude Mode is a Neue-Klasse-inspired toggle switch built into the paddle remote. Flick the toggle and the drive instantly doubles in power — from smooth Cruise mode to spirited acceleration. The BMW Joy of Driving translated to water.
Which colours are available?
Three signature BMW Neue Klasse X colours: Violet Rush, Mint Blue and Storm Grey. Specify your colour at order. Personalised motor covers — print your name or custom text on the cover — are also available on request.
How fast does the BMW x SipaBoards Tourer go?
Up to 4 knots under SipaDrive 2.1 motor power, with the Freude Mode boost adding instant acceleration on demand. Real-world speed depends on rider weight and conditions.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 5.5 hours on the Extended Dual+ pack (360 Wh). The standard 180 Wh setup delivers approximately 3 hours of motor cruising. Both packs are upgradable and the 90 Wh brick is IATA-approved for air travel.
What is the SipaMount System?
SipaMount is the BMW edition’s flush-mounted anchor system: 17 anchor points on the deck for accessories like action cameras, cargo nets, dry bags and travel gear. Built from recycled polycarbonate and high-grade reinforced rope loops — completely flush with the deck surface.
Is this a limited edition?
Yes — the BMW x SipaBoards Tourer Electric is a limited-edition collaboration between SipaBoards and BMW Group Designworks. Once the production allocation is sold out, no further units are produced.
How does the SipaDrive 2.1 propeller differ on the BMW edition?
The BMW edition features a custom near-silent propeller developed specifically for this collaboration. The Directoire Blue polycarbonate housing adds BMW-grade durability and aesthetics. Anti-debris protection and the integrated 5000 Lumen LED are standard on both SipaDrive 2.1 versions.
How is the BMW e-SUP inflated?
Approximately 5 minutes via the integrated SipaAir compressor — no manual pump. The self-regulating pressure thermostat prevents over-heating during inflation.
Can I personalise the motor cover?
Yes — personalisation up to 20 characters is available on request. Your text or name is printed onto the motor cover in matching BMW design language.
Can I use the BMW x SipaBoards e-SUP in salt water?
