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.

Great option.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exceeds my expectations. Great for leg workouts! I spend some days peddling and some days rowing. It’s nice to mix it up. Highly recommend.

Awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very well built! When you’re ready to take a break from standing up and want to have a nice relaxing day on the water this is the way to go! Great on open areas of the river where you need to sometimes get from point A to point B quicker than normal… Another great piece of equipment from Bote!

Nice piece of equipment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pedal drive works great and is easy to both install and pedal. The Rudder system may require more adjustment on my part but at the present it works but the turning is not as tight as I would like so far. That would be the only reason for not giving 5 stars here.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn't feel sturdy with an inflatable kayak. I'm not sure how it would be with a hard body kayak or SUP. It didn't have a smooth fluid motion when peddling.

Drive works well. Makes moving
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drive works well. Makes moving while casting easy. Mount broke loose when assembling out-of-the box. Reglued it and it works fine. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.
