Benefits.
Propulsion transforms your classic boat into an electrically-assisted craft! Navigating with the Kahe POD takes you further. Propulsion helps against the effects of wind and currents. It also balances the skill levels of a group of people.
The Kahe POD is easy to use: it connects to a SUP, canoe, kayak, inflatable boat or dinghy in place of the fin. The remote control is attached to the wrist or paddle using the wrist strap supplied in the pack. It allows you to choose your speed and monitor the level of battery power available.
Propulsion is silent and lightweight (just 1.7 kg). The battery is removable in three seconds, allowing you to use a second battery if you need more autonomy. The Kahe POD is approved for air travel (in the cabin for the battery).
