The Hydrocycle

The Hydrocycle($3,600) was designed specifically to make traversing on water as easy as riding a bicycle. Each rider’s pedals spin a 12″ propeller that drives the hydrocycle smoothly on rivers, lakes, or oceans at 4-6 mph–as fast as paddling a canoe or kayak–while requiring minimal effort. The watercraft’s seamless polyethylene pontoons were developed by a professional canoe designer for optimum buoyancy, speed, and stability. The hydrocycle operates in less than a foot of water and can even handle 3′ ocean swells.
