I don't understand why anybody would pay that much for a piece of plastic when for a few more thousand they can have a safer boat. Retarded I GUESS. People act foolish over popular items. Put you a pet rock in this piece of plastic

Looks like yet another ridiculously expensive waste of money to me.

Analog Human - 6 years ago

Just what I don't need. A kayak that needs registration.

I need to know a lot more about the batteries before I would even consider one of these boats. not just skim over it like you did

Jason Kloos - 6 years ago

nr3rful by patent pending, I think they mean Sealed Lead Acid battery with a handle. A battery the size they show can't be more than 10 Amp hours. Maybe 15 max if it were lithium ion.

Four years and a million dollars to develop an electric kayak???? hehehe Somebody wasted a lot of money to put a trolling motor on a kayak

One more way to be lazy. Holy crap, if you don't want to paddle then......... I don't think you should be kayaking.

Got a 40 lb thrust trolling motor with a 3 tear weedlees prop. I use a Everstart 12 volt battery with 2 solor panels 1 5 amp and 1 7.5 amp. Don't know the speed but you wouldn't want to turn it to sharp. Run all day in the sun, canopy cover for shade with 2 fishing assist stands 1 in front 1 in back. I have a perception sport 2 seater 2 years old. I've made it into a massive 1 seater with zoom zoom ability. Enjoy what you have make it your own...also with Bluetooth speakers in nose for a rather unique sound. I steer with pulleys on ropes rather than foot control with my hands. I seat like im in a above kayak because of my special seat, that comes out when taking a break along a creek or river.

hey Sonny, can you help me getting one like that? I need that kind, for long trips, with music, battery sun powerd

Ricky Roma - 8 years ago

Thanks

Sonny Aycoth - 8 years ago

Good luck...at local Dunham sporting goods they got a sun dolphin canoe with flat stern ready for motor set up..around 500 bucks or less.

Ricky Roma - 8 years ago

Thanks! Same to you. I've always thought that some sort of solar powered sun shade would be great. I'm trying to find the right boat with a flat stern to accommodate a trolling motor. There should be a way to put a motor on a standard kayak stern.

Sonny Aycoth - 8 years ago

Thanks brother Ricky, wise people with PHD in front of there name told me long ago to keep it simple sonny. So I took that advice to heart. Happy new year and paddle safely.

Ricky Roma - 8 years ago

that sounds great. I've been thinking about that for years. this new one is ok, but it's way too sophisticated. I'm impressed with what you've done!!

Daniel Engle - 10 years ago

Okay so what happens if you have it on cruise control and you fall out of your kayak? What next?

Dominik MJ - 10 years ago

Ok... it is an electric drive - but where is it hybrid???

Dennis Boettjer - 10 years ago

human power and electric power

Samson Glass - 10 years ago

Always SHOW cost. I am working on a trolling motor setup now and I bet it's .20% of what your units cost. If I wanted to spend that kinda cash I would buy a boat!

Chuck Sampson - 11 years ago

Got it!

pixelspring - 11 years ago

the other power plant is called a human being - paddle power friend. :)

Chuck Sampson - 11 years ago

nice kayak, but why do you call it a "hybrid"? Hybrid usually means there is someother type of power plant, like a gasoline or diesel engine. Don't see that here.

Tom Downard - 11 years ago

They must cost alot because I couldn't find a price tag anywhere!!!

Leafy Greens - 11 years ago

Does it detect oncoming boats and veer away? how hard would it be to stop the auto pilot? Very cool boat.

One that goes where the GPS tells it to go? Doubtful...

Jason Peak - 11 years ago

If you look at their website, solar panels are an option.

Kevys Rc & Music - 11 years ago

ok how much is it going to cost

runeski74 - 11 years ago

pretty nice ..... but its gotta be wayyyy expensive! might as well get a real boat the.

alan smith - 11 years ago

i say lets put two million in it and put solar panels on it.

manos3790 - 11 years ago

After 'one million dollars' of development!!!! It's plastic with a simplistic electric motor. I bet my friends and I could have produced this for less than 10% of the outlandish sums he talks of? No doubt trying to justify an outrageous retail price.

Jason Kloos - 6 years ago

manos3790 I built one for under $500 including the kayak. 2000x cheaper.

Mr00destruct0 - 11 years ago

What's that water behind the seat (1:19), a live well?

MadSmokerBBQ - 11 years ago

Downstream.

Chon12490 - 12 years ago

Would be cool if they did canoes too, or something for two people.

practicaltheory - 12 years ago

Yea, we forgot our rod when we went out to shoot so we ran over to BIg Five and grabbed one that apparently had been wound backwards.

Real talk, when will you ever need to travel 195 miles in 30 hours? Most people hear hybrid and think gas/electric lol good work man, go for the triple threat, wind, water and electric powered

Hogwit - 12 years ago

6.5 mph for 30 hours? 195 mile range!? Lol

Aaron Stockdale - 12 years ago

Im glad he is standing when the water is calm or he would fall over. the dude can barely stand!!! Also those foot pedals will be destroyed after 2 weeks in salt water. I think this kayak is a disposable reusable mess
