Interesting, pedal, paddle and motor! This ought to give hobie a run for its money with its versatility. What do you guys think?

So as you pedal you charge a battery? Might as still a torqueedo with a dynometer hooked up to bike pedal system to charge the battery.

Doubt this is a Hobie killer. Think I will stick with my Hobie.

Lol, didn't say it was a hobie killer. just probably a lot of consumer interest in the hobie with the drop in minkota, which might have inspired this product line.

See ya Tomorrow John!

Hobie is the innovators of pedal kayaks. Just thought this was interesting, but whenever I get another yak, it's gonna be a thresher probably, from OEX of course, just like my x factor!

How are you liking your Malibu kayaks? I really want to take a test ride on a stealth 14 I currently fish in a PA 14 but I'm old and tired of dragging it around!! Lol

I have a 2014 X Factor and love it. They are built on the same platform as the stealth 14 just not quite as fancy lol. Treats me well...

Interesting concept with the 3 propulsion option. The propel boat are bigger on the east coast. Starting to see a few propels out west now. Innovation is always good. Not a hobie, but we shouldn't dis em. I remember the almost universal doubt, ridicule, and distrust the Hobie's mirage were greeted with when they first came out. Mike

The real question...is it really worth spending the extra $ for registration on top of the cost of the Kayak?
