The world’s first e-bike ON water creates completely new opportunities for extended explorations.
We’re looking forward to hear your thoughts in our survey.
Hi I’m John I’m the founder of otter bikes otter is a water sport product that we are currently working on here in Switzerland ebikes nowadays are everywhere but on water you’re still limited to either purely human powered or then machined powered crafts and um yeah we want to change that basically
Want to bring all the benefits of electric assisted cycling to the water but in a water adapted comfortable and social way but let me show you what you can see here is the proof of concept prototype from a few weeks ago in the meantime we improved many elements but
Let me show you the new design otter is made of an aluminum body and inflatable drop stitch holes you have a trampoline net to stand on and a splash guard in the front the pedals are adjustable so everyone has a comfortable cycling position in the cockpit you’ll find the
Steering lever some cup holders and the battery which is removable for charging 2,000 W support offers speed of up to 12 km per hour a comfortable cruising speed is more like 8 to 10 km per hour but the key benefit is how easy you can cover vast distances compared to purely human
Powered crafts you can go for 30 kilomet without much effort instead of renting a noisy motorboat you go on an afternoon Bike Tour and silently explore with your own power the purely digital drivetrain has no chain or other moving Parts this enables a smooth and genuine cycling
Feeling gears like on a bike and is very low maintenance otter is designed for easy slipping pull it like a trolley unfold the seats and slide in the holes and you’re ready with the launching wheels down you can slip it from any Beach or boat ramp without heavy lifting
Once In The Water fold up the wheels and down the motors and off you go that’s it I hope you like this short introduction um I would actually be super curious to hear your thoughts and feedback so we created a small service just 10 questions um you’ll find the link
Somewhere here would be great to hear your feedbacks and ideas thanks a lot
