Transform your kayak into the ultimate personal watercraft!
Transform your kayak into the ultimate personal watercraft! The Bixpy J-2 Electric Jet Kayak Motor comes complete with the Bixpy motor system (motor, battery, remote control, battery charger), Headstock, Blade, Uphaul kit assembled.
It's not just about making it easier to get around, the other cool advantages are that you can fish or take photos and video totally hands-free, and the steering is done via the footrests controlling the rudder and direction of the motor's thrust. This allows you to hold position in wind and current very easily. When it's time to head back in it's very nice to cruise along with little effort, even if there is a headwind or current. If you have a partner or smaller person that would like to come along but aren't strong paddlers, then this is the perfect solution! They can come and really enjoy their time on the water with you.
The unique feature that separates this motor from all others is the micro propeller, at just 60mm wide it creates almost NO DRAG when you want to paddle your kayak without the motor running. You simply paddle and use the rudder as you normally would.
Other motors have large propellers that, due to the huge amount of drag they create, need to be lifted from the water when you want to, or need to, paddle without the motor running. This can destabilise the kayak and removes the ability to turn and manoeuvre easily. These large and heavier motors don't bolt neatly to your rudder blade either, they normally require bulky mounting hardware and large, heavy batteries.
Here are a few thoughts on why a kayak/Bixpy combo may make more sense for you to own over a boat:
- Lower cost to own
- No running costs - no fuel
- Way less maintenance tasks and expenses
- Easier and cheaper to store than a boat
- No crowded ramps, launch anywhere and near the fishing spot
- Don't need others to help launch and retrieve
- Able to get closer to the fish without spooking them - stealthy and quiet
- Can go where boats can't - shallow and in rocky areas
- No trailer to register, store and maintain, use roof racks instead
- Catching fish from a kayak is much more exciting and fun!
- Easier to clean, maintain and put away
- Easy to go solo, you don't need to rely on others to assist
- Able to position over fish with pinpoint accuracy
- Supreme performance from fish finders - no interference
- Short trips are practical - boats entail a lot of work before and after, and usually need a ramp to launch
