Question

Has anyone used the new hobie mirage propulsion system for kayaks?

Answer 1

The MirageDrive is simple and easy to use. Your feet rest naturally on the pedals and you pedal effortlessly similar to a bicycle. The larger muscles in our legs produce more powerful propulsion versus arms using a paddle. In addition, correct paddle usage requires training and practice. You also stay drier as pedaling eliminates drips that you get from using a paddle. The MirageDrive is quiet and creates no splash. The Hobie MirageDrive leaves your hands free for fishing, photography or holding a drink. I loveit!!

Answer 2

They are great. Why not use the muscles evolved for continuous duty (legs) instead of arms. Foil drive is very efficient. Drawback is they require deeper water to operate in.
