Ideal for recreational divers, the modular LEFEET P1 underwater scooter is easy to disassemble and pack, weighing just 5.3 pounds. (2.4 kg). Plus, the battery is flight-safe so you can keep it in your carry-on.

The modular build of the scooter means you can easily upgrade to an extended battery, using the XR—extended range—battery. It’s approximately 50% longer than the standard battery and increases the unit’s weight from 5.3 pounds to 7 pounds (3.2 kg).

The P1 XR not only provides longer run times but also an extra speed gear. These extras are particularly useful for adventurous cave or wreck divers, who want to efficiently taxi to their start point without using precious air or energy.

No matter if you choose the original version or the XR, it’s easy to modify this compact underwater scooter depending on your needs. Attach it to your stand-up paddleboard or use a leg mount for a hands-free experience, for example.

Divers can easily mount it to a tank or use a large handrail and attach two scooters together. Versatility is the key when it comes to the LEFEET P1, making this underwater scooter as compact or as powerful as you want it to be.

Let’s dive into our review of the LEFEET P1 and P1 XR.

LEFEET P1 versus P1 XR

The LEFEET P1 is a modular underwater scooter, which essentially means it can be disassembled into several smaller parts. Although this might sound a little intimidating, don’t worry—there isn’t any wiring involved. With the P1 you screw apart the handles, engine, and battery into more manageable pieces, helping spread the weight.

This modularity also means you can swap out the battery for a larger one. LEFEET refers to the extended battery model as the P1 XR, for extended range. Depending on your needs, you might find that you can really benefit from that extra power underwater.

So, what other differences are there? Well, side-by-side, the P1 XR is about 30% taller, extending the total height of 12 inches (31 cm) to 17 inches (40 cm). The standard battery is 5 inches (13 cm) long and the XR is 8.6 inches (22 cm). The engine and the handles are the same. Since both batteries must be taken in your carry-on, consider if you have room for them, with the smaller one roughly the size of a soda can and the XR comparable to a Pringles can.

Aside from size, the XR will give you an extra speed—a fifth “S” super speed. As advertised, the P1 maxes out at 2 meters/second with a runtime of 60 minutes, whereas the P1 XR can hit speeds of 2.3 m/s and will last 90 minutes. Note that during our battery tests, we got 24 minutes and 30 minutes respectively. These differences are attributable to the fact that we tested the units at top speed the entire time, whereas LEFEET’s data is 60/90 minutes of intermittent use.

During both of our battery tests, both the standard P1 and P1 XR continued for approximately 10 more minutes at a lower, energy-saving speed. On its website, LEFEET does mention that the P1 will run for 30 minutes at full speed, which aligns well with our results.

When it comes to speed, again there are some discrepancies between the company’s data and ours. We ran a range of speed tests at our local 25 yard/m pool, with a variety of configurations, including a single P1, a P1 XR, two P1s on a handrail, and two P1 XRs on a handrail.

We performed the tests with DIVEIN’s co-founder Torben, his 10-year-old son Carl, and then with Torben outfitted in full scuba gear. Each of those runs was performed three to four times to get an average. Below are our results, all in meters per second.

We attribute our slower times to several factors, including the fact that the scooter needed 3-4 seconds to get up to speed; we were in a small 25 yard/m pool; and we needed to stop short in order to not hit the wall. However it is <b>still valuable data, and can help you better understand the speed you might achieve. </b>

AdultChildScuba
P11.05 m/s1.27 m/s0.63 m/s
P1 XR1.44 m/s1.63 m/s0.93 m/s
P1 double1.40 m/s1.59 m/s0.97 m/s
P1 XR double1.79 m/s2.08 m/s

Modular design

The overall look and feel of the P1 is very sleek.

What sets the LEFEET apart from the other underwater scooters on the market is its modular design. Although the S1 Pro is partially modular, the new P1 takes it to another level.

The main difference between the LEFEET S1 Pro and the P1 is that the battery compartment is completely detachable from the engine, halving it in height. The regular battery on the P1 is comparable in size to a regular soda can. It’s so modular that we even managed to fit it all into a packing cube.

The regular battery on the P1 is comparable in size to a regular soda can. It’s so modular that we even managed to fit it all into a packing cube.

With this adaptable, modular design, you can create many different configurations to suit your needs, whether by creating a single unit, double unit, or even attaching it to your stand-up paddleboard. By adding a larger battery, you’ll not only increase the maximum speed from 6.5 feet (2 m) per second to 7.5 feet (2.3 m) per second, but also the ride time from 60 minutes to 90 minutes.

Construction

The LEFEET P1 is made from a high-strength composite material, which provides excellent structural integrity and keeps it lightweight and agile in the water.

The unit and handrail are made from lightweight and sturdy anodized aluminum. A minor frustration here was that the screw attaching the handrail did wiggle, which left us feeling that we needed to tighten the screws even more. However, as soon as we were running it underwater, this became just a minor annoyance.

The LEFEET feels well-built, and you don’t have the sense of this being just another plastic toy, which has been the case with a lot of underwater scooters.

User experience

So, most importantly, what is it like to use the new LEFEET P1 and P1 XR? Well, thanks to its lightweight build and comfortable controls, using the P1 is extremely fun and very easy. We have used it for scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling. Although not necessarily advertised as a toy, we loved seeing our kids racing and whizzing around the pool, which just confirms how easy the P1 is to use.
