Experience Serenity and Solitude on the One-Person Electric Watercraft
An innovative new one-person electric watercraft allows users to enjoy the sensation of the waters without having to exert any physical energy in the process.
The motorised watercraft can transport you across the water for up to six hours on a full charge, with simple steering using a hand tiller the only requirement.
Boasting spacious leg-room, the craft features a 12-volt electric motor that hooks up to the dual-sealed lead-acid batteries to drive the two-bladed propeller, which takes it to speeds of 4mph.
A wide beam and low centre of gravity can ferry one rider and small cargo up to 320 pounds, with a foam-padded recumbent seat ensuring the user’s comfort.
Other notable features include an integrated 120-watt audio system with two 5-inch speakers, a built-in 12-bottle cooler, and a cup holder on the starboard.
The watercraft is available from US retail giants Hammacher Schlemmer, priced at $3,500.
