Waterbikes are the single person model. They have the same drive
mechanism as the seacycle, but they steer differently - by leaning - like a
regular bicycle or motorcycle. As you lean, the seat back pivots the
rear pontoon section which acts as a rudder. Waterbikes are very
manueverable, either in forward or reverse, and they stop quickly by
pedaling backwards.
For
shallow water operation or beaching, the drive mechanism "kicks up"
automatically (or if it hits an obstruction). Waterbikes paddle easily
when operated in very shallow water or in seaweed, grass. or lily pads.
Two waterbikes can raft
together for combined operation, much like the seacycle.
Waterbikes make ideal fishing platforms. They are fast and relatively
effortless for extended trolling. Available accessories can hold your
trolling rod, spare rods, tackle box, tool kit, cooler, and coffee mug or
water bottle.
