As an ebike owner this is exactly what I am looking for in a kayak. I love the combination of a workout with the speed of a motor.
@olddognewtrix Жыл бұрын
Looks great, but I think if you're fishing with it, if you have a motor, you'd like it to lock you in place. I think a trolling motor is better for my needs, but if you're on a big lake or saltwater, and only need assistance in getting around, a great idea.

@SouthJerseyBaitReviews Жыл бұрын
$2k more then the original bigwater 132 pdl for a motor drive and lithium battery sounds about right tbh. Especially considering a Hobie drive cost damn near 1k so they gotta make a little profit but. I would just buy the motor and lithium separate and put it in an older big water 132pdl if u had it.

I guess what I don't understand is what the difference is between having an "assist" like this, and just calling it a trolling motor...?

It helps you pedal so you’re using a lot less battery life. Plus the same motor can be used as pedal only

That 36V Battery - 20 Amp in that Kayak ... Is to small for a 2 dayer trip, with out charging , wish that they had a more Amp battery ... But at the speed your use to.... on this e-drive that would be a 2 or 3 , you could be in the sweet zone., for using watts and might get a good range, would be nice if it was bigger at least 40 Amp ... For a quality Battery check out MillerTech Lithium Batteries .I run four of there batteries , ( two in series for 120 Amps for each motor ), On my Tri-Cat 360 uses MillerTech's 36V - 60 Amp Lithium Battery . Those feed the Newports NK300 's, i run a Twin Drive. To bad you can't buy that new Kayak without the battery and add your own.

Nice boat. Nice but extremely overpriced. They say it comes with the battery but believe me you are paying for it at 6K. You can get a decent battery thru LiTime for about $350. It probably better to go with the Autopiot 120 for about.$4,350. And that has spot-lock.
