12' Inflatable Pedal Kayak PK365

12' Inflatable Pedal Kayaks PK365.

New Design, Compact Folding Pedal drive included!

New upgrades - 2nd removable fin was added in front, for better directional stability. Also set of 4 D-rings were placed on tubes for optional electric motor mount attachment across tubes.

New model of inflatable kayaks board with pedal drive for human powered propulsion on a water. Any type of low or high beach chair can be mounted on top of that kayak using double D-rings with straps. Great for pleasure cruising or fishing.

Kayak comes with aluminum bench and rotomolded mount to hold pedal drive on that bench. Also comes with high quality aluminum pedal drive, compare to $899. Pedal drive is new model that can be folded for portable storage and transportation.

Kayak has elongated cut out to drop in pedal drive. Cut out can be closed with a Velcro cover. Motor can be lifted up and out of way for easy beaching. Pedal kayak can also be used without drive, with regular kayak paddles.

There are 2 steering options for inflatable pedal kayak. Easiest and simplest, is just to use kayak paddle to change direction of movement. Fins on a bottom of kayak helps it with strait directional movement. Just few stroke of kayak paddle can easily adjust direction as needed. Additional option, is to attach optional kayak paddle or SUP paddle (not included) to one of double D-rings in rear of tubes, drop blade in a water, and use that paddle blade as a rudder. Reason why rudder is not part of kayak package, is to keep prices low. Adding rudder will increase price by about $200, while using kayak paddles to adjust direction is simple and strait forward. If rudder absolutely needed, there are ways to add rudder DIY method.

Inflatable Pedal Kayak PK365. (shown with non folding pedal drive)

Inflatable Pedal Kayak first prototype.

Quick instructions:

• Rotomolded pedal drive mount need to be bolted to aluminum bench with 2 provided stainless steel bolts.
• 2 plastic sliding locks need to be attached on top of rotomolded mount with 2 screws each. Locks are needed to hold pedal drive rod inside mount.
• Slide aluminum bench with mount installed inside 2 pouches on top of kayak tubes, while kayak about 50% inflated. Wet ends of benches in a water to make sliding easier. Or, use soapy mix if difficult to slide.
• Position such way that mount is in center of kayak, aligned with elongated cut out in kayak floor. Pedal drive shaft must be perpendicular to the floor.
• Remove Velcro cover, and lower pedal drive into opening. Secure with Velcro strap between 2 x D-rings in front of opening, so that motor does not move upward when pedaling. If you need to raise pedal drive, simply disconnect Velcro straps and pull motor out of opening by rotating it over rod secured inside rotomolded mount. You can also close cover and place motor prop right on top of that cover. But, to do not turn pedals in this position, as that might loosen bolt holding prop and prop can be lost while in use.
• Use straps with double D-rings to secure beach chair to kayak floor. Experiment to find best possible position.
• Generally, kayak paddle can be used to easily adjust kayak directions, with just few strokes.
• Or, use strap with double D-ring at one end of tubes, to secure paddle to make optional rudder, if prefer that way.

Important Notes on assembly:

• Assemble kayak and pedal drive at your home first, before going for actual water run.
• Make sure all components fit properly. Please check all nuts and bolts not to be loose before first use.
• When pedal drive lowered, it's shaft should rest against cut out front section.
• Pedal drive shaft must be perpendicular to kayak floor.
• If pedal drive not perpendicular to the floor, it might be necessary to re-drill new holes on aluminum bench to adjust position of pedal drive little bit forward or backward. Because inflatable kayaks assembled manually, one by one, slight variations are possible during production. If that is the case, and shaft not under 90 degree angle to the floor, then all you need to do, is to remove bolts from motor mount, position it on top of aluminum bench in a such way that shaft of pedal drive is perpendicular to the floor, mark edge of motor mount on bench, and drill 2 new holes to secure motor mount to bench. Another option would be to remove plastic pedal drive mount, rotate it 180 degree, and then bolt it back to aluminum bench. Because distance from tube to edge of mount different that might move pedal drive shaft to correct position without need for drilling.
