Description
The 55 High Mount Propulsion is a surf-forward upgrade for riders chasing faster lift-offs and uninterrupted lines. Part of the Lift Connect System (LCS), it clicks into any LIFTX board and runs our 55mm motor propulsion, featuring a fully integrated nose cone and higher motor placement on the mast for quicker lift and zero drag once on foil.
The motor sits fully submerged during takeoff and disappears once you’re on foil. This setup means earlier ups, no ventilation, and a clean ride. Just pure glide, and total control underfoot.
Like every Lift propulsion, it runs our direct-drive motor with Quiet Ride Technology. No gears, no noise just smooth, near-silent power.
HIGH vs. LOW MOUNT

⚠️ IMPORTANT: It is critical all eFoil equipment is turned off and the battery is disconnected before working with or around the motor or propellers.
- Avoid contact with the spinning propeller, as it can cause severe injury or death.
- Keep your fingers, toes, and body parts clear of the propeller at all times.
- Do not handle the propeller while the battery is installed in the board.
- Do not handle your propeller in the water.

The jump from the previous generation is quite ambitious… Lift's new generation of eFoils are so much fun to ride and provide so many improvements that they've carved out a compelling claim to the best efoil in 2025.
-
LIFTX introduces a new category in water sports by merging the agility of a surf foil with the power of an eFoil.
-
LIFT5 and LIFTX represent huge innovations in the eFoil industry and coupled with accessories like Blowfish and leading edge controllers, snap-together assembly, and long-range integrated batteries, will make this the next big leap in the eFoil surfboard industry.
-
After riding them, they feel incredible underfoot… everything has been refined. Board profiles are surfier (and just plain rad), batteries are easier to use, and built into the boards, and foils can be switched out with a simple click.
