PaddleMotion Pedal-Powerd Paddle-drive System

PaddleMotion is a pedal-powered paddle-drive system for open canoes and other suitable small watercraft.

Paddle Motion in Action

Turns any canoe and a pair of paddles into a pedal powered propulsion system by driving the paddles by a simple mechanism that resembles the motion of manual paddling.

PaddleMotion is about to revolutionize canoeing. Requires no modification to the canoe and is easily disengaged on the fly to resume manual paddling.

PaddleMotion is simple and easy to use. Your feet rest naturally on the pedals and you pedal effortlessly in the recumbent position similar to a bicycle.   The larger muscles in our legs produce more powerful ppropulsion and staying power versus arms using a paddle.
