Unlike a kayak or stand up paddleboard, the catamaran configuration of the S1-C provides for maximum stability even on rough, choppy waters. And, as small watercraft, we recommend following any marine advisories or warning and always carry a life jacket

Yes! The bikes have been tested over thousands of ocean rides and long distance ocean crossing.

Unlike pedal boats or other forms of pedal powered water craft, the S1-C delivers a true cycling experience on the water. We use premium components including the Gates Carbon Drive system to deliver a smooth cadence.

Steering is the same as any bike. Turn the handlebars left or right for the desired direction while pedaling forward or reverse.

No. The high center of gravity is not amenable for surfing with the bike.

Depending on your cycling experience and conditions on the water, average RPM ranges from 40-60

Average cruising speed is about 5-6 mph (8-10 kph). Top speed (max hull speed) is 11.5 mph (18.5 kph).

It depends on wind direction and speed. Most of our customers report that it is much easier to bike back to shore than it is to paddle.

The maximum rideable weight is 450 pounds (204 kg) inclusive of the rider and any passengers, pets, or gear/equipment on the front deck.

Generally speaking, the Medium frame size is suited for riders 5’7" (1.74 meters) and under. Riders taller than that can still ride the Medium frame but will be more comfortable and have better leg extension riding one a Large frame. Riders 5’9" and taller should select the Large frame size unless the bike is being shared with others who are shorter. Shorter riders (under 5’7) generally cannot ride the Large frame.

Any accessories that can be securely affixed to bike handlebars will work on the S1-C (e.g.iphone holder, handlebar bag, basket, lights etc). In addition, you can secure a wide variety of accessories and/equipment on the pontoons and/or front deck accessory (e.g. portable, waterproof speaker, LED lights, fitness equipment, cooler). <Link to accessories page in the store>

Yes. The S1-C uses standard bike fittings allowing for a multitude of options to change out saddle and handlebars

No. Our custom pedals are specifically designed for salt water environments and come with a neoprene strap to comfortably secure the riders feet both in shoes and barefoot.

Please see our partners page for a list of rental and sales locations worldwide. We realize that it might not be possible to test a bike before purchasing. The vast majority of our customers rely on the incredible testimonials, videos and acclaim for the S1-C to make a purchasing decision. Our team will happily speak with you directly to answer any questions before making a purchase.

Approximately 20 in / 50 cm. In shallow water mode, the bike can be operated in 12 in or 30 cm depth at low speed. Accelerating to normal speed will cause the propeller to drop down to its maximum depth.

Yes. The bike is designed for beach landings. We recommend lifting the Outdrive unit (rudder + propeller) once you have dismounted. Never push the bike out backwards (tips pointing to shore) with the Outdrive unit down. Always turn the bike around with tips pointing towards the water before manually lowering the Outdrive unit.

Absolutely! The front deck can accommodate large breeds and they love the ride!
