Do you like water sport? if so you may consider this amazing bike ” Akwakat” transforming water bike. This amazing bike was designed by Neil Vanner from New Zealand. Akwakat can be use as a mountain bike or as a water bike. You will have a new experience on your adventures especially on the water.
An ingenious drive system results in the Akwakat being sleek and fast on the water while maintaining good stability due to its streamlined design. The inflatable pontoons, folding drive shaft and front rudder all fit comfortably into a carry bag with a total weight of less than 12kg making the Akwakat waterbike incredibly portable and easy to transport and store between adventures.
Do not confuse the Akwakat waterbike with a pedal-boat, they are two entirely different products – the Akwakat waterbike uses a standard, non-modified hard tail mountain bike that can be converted back to a standard bike within minutes of reaching the shore, and the lightweight construction results in a draft of only 350mm allowing the rider to easily glide to shore – so the Akwakat takes you from weekday commuting to the office to weekend exploration of your favourite lakes and rivers, and all in one compact carry bag and without a special bike.
Akwakat advantages:
- Forward and reverse momentum through the use of an ingenius gearbox assembly
- Low centre of gravity provides more stability and is acheived be removing the cycle’s wheel
- Heavy duty inflatable pontoons are built to take the knocks with specially fitted wear pads
- Rigid components are either hard wearing polymer construction or stainless steel for long life
- Modern design means an ulta-cool look
- All components fit in an easy to store and transport carry bag
