I was genuinely surprised by how powerful and fun the Lefeet S1 Pro is underwater. Despite its compact size, it delivers an impressive performance and offers three different power settings that are easy to adjust. You can switch between them using either the main unit’s switch or the remote control, meaning you don’t have to let go of the handles while using it—a game-changer in terms of convenience. This Lefeet S1 Pro review covers everything from power levels to battery life and travel-friendliness.
Lefeet S1 Pro Review: Power & Performance
The Lefeet S1 Pro is surprisingly powerful for its size. On its highest setting, it reaches speeds of 2.7 mph (4.3 km/h), and with boost mode, it can go up to nearly 4 mph (6.4 km/h) underwater.
- Power Level 1: Best for conserving battery, ideal for calm waters.
- Power Level 2: Stronger and capable of handling slight currents.
- Power Level 3: Maximum power but drains the battery quickly.
For most dives, sticking to Power Level 1 is recommended unless extra thrust is needed. It provides enough speed to glide effortlessly and maximizes battery life, ensuring the scooter doesn’t run out of power mid-dive. For mild currents, Power Level 2 or 3 helps, but with higher battery consumption.
Lefeet S1 Pro Weight & Dual-Unit Setup
The recommended weight limit for a single unit is 220 lbs (100 kg), but if you weigh over 155 lbs (70 kg), Lefeet suggests using a dual-unit setup. This involves connecting two S1 Pro scooters using a bracket (sold separately). This setup provides additional power and stability, which can be beneficial for divers carrying extra gear.
Lefeet S1 Pro Review: Compact & Travel-Friendly Design
One of the best things about the Lefeet S1 Pro is its size and portability. It is incredibly small and lightweight—just 6.6 lbs (3 kg) with all accessories included. It fits easily into a backpack or suitcase, making it perfect for dive trips.
This makes it easy to bring along without sacrificing luggage space. Despite having other dive gear, there’s always room for the S1 Pro, making it a convenient travel companion.
Ease of Use & Setup
The Lefeet S1 Pro is intuitive and beginner-friendly. Whether you’re a snorkeler, freediver, or scuba diver, it is easy to start using immediately. Testing it in shallow water first helps get a feel for how it responds at different power levels before taking it to deeper depths.
Setting up the unit is quick and easy:
- Attach the handles using two screws.
- Insert and charge the battery and remote control.
- The scooter is ready to use.
- For the dual-unit setup, the second unit is connected using a bracket.
Lefeet S1 Pro Review: Battery Life & Charging
Battery life varies based on power settings:
- Power Level 1: Up to 70 minutes
- Power Level 2: Around 50 minutes
- Power Level 3: About 35 minutes
The main battery takes 2.5 hours to fully charge, while the remote control takes only 1.5 hours. The controller battery lasts about 2.5 hours per charge. For longer dives, carrying an extra battery is a good idea.

- Wireless & rechargeable remote control – Mounts on either side of the unit or can be removed for single-hand use.
