These kayaks cost over $2000 less than Hobie Pro Angler & Hobie Outback pedal kayaks! These are the cheapest pedal kayaks on the market and I want to show you what you can expect from them. These kayaks were provided to me for review, but I feel I provided a fair and honest review. Hopefully you enjoy the video. I test speed performance and flip them to test stability.

Best review ever for the Riot Mako series 👍👍👍

@melvinudal8552 3 года назад

Can you still paddle with a kayak paddle with your hands and use the foot paddles? or because of the speed you would just get in the way of the kayak going forward? I like kayaks, and I always thought it was great that I could enjoy the outdoors and exorcise, and always wished I could exorcise both upper and lower body, what do you think? Thanks for the video.

@euniceling5213 10 месяцев назад

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. ru-vid.comUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

Just wanted to say thank you! Your past experiences with this kayak and helpful comments on other threads gave me the confidence to buy my Mako 10, ironically less than 24hrs before this video was released. I figured if the guy who pedals practically every kayak every year felt the Mako line was good enough to own 2 for his personal fleet, that speaks volumes. This video is going to help people and Riot so much in giving people the confidence to move forward. Cheers!

@Internetpilot 4 года назад

Great review! It's difficult to find thorough reviews of the cheaper pedal kayaks. About the only negative I can give these kayaks is that if you're tall or average height with longer legs, this kayak may not allow you to adjust the seat far enough back to allow for a comfortable pedaling position. I felt like I was 2-3" too close to the pedals even when the seat was as far back as it could go. I'm 6'3", but only have a 33" inseam, so my legs aren't terribly long. I only quickly tried it, so it could've also been that I wasn't positioned in the seat properly, etc., but regardless I think it's a tight fit for taller people, so if you're taller, you may want to try it before buying it. Otherwise, it's a really nice, inexpensive pedal drive kayak option.

Ray Liberatore definitely is the year for affordable pedal kayak options. So many companies getting into the pedal drive market. Vanhunks, Riot, Pelican, and more have pretty affordable pedal kayaks. A hair more expensive is the Lightning Kayak Strike. Beyond that is the Ocean Kayak Malibu PDL and is about $1899. So many options. I wish I could review them all. Going to keep trying to review all I can. 🙂

More stability, more costs...More accessories, more costs...Better seat, more costs...! Those are 2 of the "Best of Everything" for someone just getting started in peddle-type 'Yaks, I've ever seen...! Thanks for making this video, and I'll pass it on to a Friend of mine. He isn't too big (like us), so I'm sure something like that will "Fit the Bill"!

Hey KayakDIY, thank you so much for contributing awesome content that helps this hobby continue to grow! Have you ever tried out the Native Manta Ray Propel? I was curious how that would stack up against a Mako 12 in big water. I'm 5'11" and 160 lbs.

@KayakDIY Год назад

This is an old comment. However, I will comment anyway. The Native Manta Ray is an excellent kayak. Performance is very similar. Build quality of small hardware components is “slightly” better in Native. However, I’m not sure it justifies the price difference. It just comes down to what design you like more. One plus for the Native is that the rudder is under the kayak which prevents potential for fishing line snagging.

@chrism8013 4 года назад

My yak, Radar 135, utilizes the track mounted seat as well. If you want to store it at the dock/canal for ready use, store it upside down on two lengths of 6x6 lumber. I used a a bungee hook to keep the seat folded down, then just flipped it over. Keeps the yak off the ground, keeps the sun from beating on the seat, and the bungee keeps the seat back from flopping on the ground when inverted.

@KayakDIY 4 года назад

Thanks for the tip. I forgot that Radar 135 had similar. I definitely like easily removed seats, but at this budget price can’t expect everything.

@DaveysWorldFishing 3 года назад

I’ve been fishing the Mako 12 for over a year now. Good all around kayak. The main issue I have had in the course of the year is the steering/rudder system. I have been through three sets of steering cables and just installed my fourth. Per Riot, seems to be a known issue. Very accommodating to get new cables out. I did a reinstall/modification on my channel if anyone happens to find the same issue.

Has the space for depth finder mounting near the pedals, but never saw the underside tense if there was a space where a transducer might be safely placed.

@dgriffin6074 3 года назад

Well done. Re: the seat; place a large enough garbage or leaf bag over it; the draw strings will keep it in place and that may protect it, to some degree from the elements. I own a 12 foot pescador and do not understand why manufacturers place fishing rod holders behind the seat; unless you are very young or a contortionist reaching for equipment behind you on a somewhat unstable kayak is a PITA.

@KayakDIY 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment. Great tips. I agree with statements on rod holder placement. I kinda wish I could buy most kayaks without the rod holders and install them myself.

@barrywuthrich8530 4 года назад

Pretty nice for the money. I fish flats a lot and hit shallow bars and oyster reefs daily. I don't see that this pedal drive kicks up when hitting something, so that would mean I would probably break it pretty quickly. With the sport growing so rapidly, the used market is somewhat of a buyer's market, so I went with a used Hobie. Also, I can flutter pedal a hobie in shallow water.

@carlerickson74 2 года назад

I’d be curious how replacement pedals would be to install Shimano bicycle SPD clip in pedals for more pedaling power and efficiency. I also wonder if a higher performance 3 blade prop might work? Otherwise, looks awesome! As a former cyclist turned kayaker, these mods would be pretty cool, especially if they could increase the cruise speed of these boats!

@Saltloony 4 года назад

Great review! This might be the 2nd generation kayak. The original one had a nylon strap to park the drive when not in use. Also, the rudder control is permanent on the older model. Even though I don't own this kayak anymore. I made some upgrades that might help some folks, including a possible fix for the seat issue and under-seat storage.

@KayakDIY 4 года назад

Yes this is the latest 2nd generation of the Mako series. Just got them about 6 months ago. Tested them heavily before making video.

@Saltloony 4 года назад

@@KayakDIY I had them for over a year. Great kayak for entry-level. Once you find a good position for your seat. You can jam both sides of the tracks with a piece of rubber or foam. That helps with the easy install. I don't know if they fixed the scupper holes. They had very uneven shape and would allow water to seep in and stay in the deck with little extra weight on the kayak. Those foam scupper plugs were useless in stopping the water.

@KayakDIY 4 года назад

Saltloony they must have fixed the scuppers because I like the way they are now. Drain really well. Deck stays pretty dry.
