Why We Like The APEX Pedal Drive + Rudder Kit

Just because paddling our boat is our favorite arm workout doesn't mean we want to expend our energy when we could be relaxing on the lake. With the APEX Pedal Drive, our arms, abs, and chest can rest while we propel the boat forward hands-free. The Pedal Drive and Rudder Kit lets us direct our BOTE vessel in any direction—forward, backward, and directly to our favorite beach. Our feet stay comfortable pedaling on the spacious platforms, and the spring-loaded rudder kicks up to prevent damage while on the move.

Apex Pedal Drive - arm saver!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The apex pedal system is awesome- really helps on those windy days when my arms seem to not be moving the kayak forward. So very happy with my purchase!

Pedal drive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The apex pedal drives is top quality built for sure! The design is fantastic, easy in and out for my Boye lono, great extra power when I don't want to paddle or need extra assistance. It's Super cool

The right Bote for the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm getting to old to haul around my 100 lb pedal fishing kayak, and at half the weight the Bote Lono is a perfect fix!

So far, so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to put the kayak together easily as well as the peddle drive. The kayak is well made and the peddle drive looks like it works well. I have not been able to put it into the water though because it’s January, lol. I’ll put it into the water this spring.

Apex Pedal Drive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great addition! The versatility of the pedal drive is amazing! I can choose to paddle, kayak or relax and pedal! Came in handy if needing to get back in a hurry. We were definitely moving against the current!

Great accessory for a BOTE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pedal system for help paddling against wind or looking to just sight-see while resting the arms.
