NEW Bixpy K1 Jet Motor For Kayaks Paddleboards iSUPs & More! 

THANKS! Hope to be back in our home in a month or so. Still rebuilding. City permits take forever and are a major headache. I'm in Cape Coral. We were just in Matlacha yesterday fishing and kayaking. Matlacha still has homes half in water and half out. Looks terrible. Amidst the disaster I see tons of wildlife and marine life thriving so that makes me happy to see. Have had some of the largest variation and overall large size fish in our canal this week.

@@KayakDIY awesome, hope all goes well, i have been part of relief for many hurricanes since way back to andrew, hugo etc. Its amazing how wildlife just adapts and moves on. Mother nature is cruel at times but there is so much that people just don't understand until it happens to them.. just remember it will be alright, all the stuff thats gone is not important, just that everyone is ok, happy easter to you and the family . Thats what is important.

Thanks for the support! You didn't have to do that. However, appreciate it. Going to make some amazing new boat, kayak, diy boat, and motor related videos.

*It will totally fit your board.* That board of yours uses a US standard fin. Bixpy had a US Standard fin adapter. bixpy.com/us-fin-adapter-k-1-j-2-motors/?gclid=CjwKCAjw36GjBhAkEiwAKwIWyaKvHnx5Hh_RhDWezMbrCJvgGIZ60TnyW396gIne4ebm7s2YqgGvWxoC5goQAvD_BwE&aff=9 They have Bixpy dealers in UK. They might even ship from U.S factory to UK address if you email them. bixpy.com/blog/bixpy-now-has-dealers-in-the-uk-and-spain/

@@KayakDIY Thank you so much for your help! Your awesome for that and of course imma sub to your chan :) have a wonderful summer and i look forward to seeing more innovation peaceeee 🌍

If you can itemize your watercraft/efoil to separate cost of board and the battery/motor wing that may help. Likely can just pay sales tax on the board. Technically that is what they would consider the vessel. The motor could be considered separate like on other boats/vessels. I imagine the motor and battery are the expensive part which jack up the sales tax. The yearly cost is high though for your state compared to states I have lived in.

Correcto, in Arkansas I don't need to register my 16 foot canoe but if I install Any king of motor on it or my 8 foot kayak I am then required to go down to the Revenue Office and pay an annual registration fee and put the numbers on my $200 kayak or canoe!! The Government has become disgustingly oppressive!

You can make payments on everything these days

I hear you Totally understand BUT here it's a saying : " Lo barato sale caro" " What is cheap it comes out as expensive "

Right! I'll just buy a trolling motor for under 200 bucks

@@shesmydaily you won’t get a good LiPO4 battery or wireless remote for $200. However, if this doesn’t fit your needs I have a cool product we are bringing to market to enhance trolling motors. Think you will like it. Stay tuned bud. 👊

​@@KayakDIY what product?

Yes because of the voltage requirements and wireless remote control features you need to use the Bixpy battery. You can’t use a standard 12v. Bixpy has a solar panel which lets you charge the battery. Pretty cool feature for long trips or kayak camping adventures.

@@KayakDIY Alright. So I'll have to look for something other than Bixby to power my boat. Thanks.

Per watt hour actually the larger PP768 battery is better deal. Small battery 378wh for $649 Large battery 768wh for $899

Bout 350

They do a max of about 6-7mph on the best hydrodynamic watercrafts. On most large heavy & wide fishing kayaks they do around 4mph top. On long narrow touring hull kayaks they can hit 6mph. On lightweight inflatable sups they can do 5mph+. Where this product shines is it is very well sealed unlike trolling motors. You can throw this motor and battery in the water and it won’t damage it. Battery floats. All connections are watertight. Battery life is really good in lower speed settings and provides me all day runtime. Lastly, it just is super easy and clean to mount on any watercraft. The average pedal kayak with comfortable pedaling will do 3-3.5mph. If pedaling hard you can hit 5mph+ in short bursts. So a motor that gets you 3mph+ for long periods is pretty good. Kayaks are displacement hills so they aren’t designed typically for planing high speeds anyway.

Just improved upon the J2 by reducing size, reducing noise, and squeezing more power. Also the latest Pro Angler battery pairs up nice for longer run times. I'm a J2 owner and I am not selling mine to buy the K1. However, if I didn't have J2 I would totally be a K1 customer.

They should partner with a company like BerleyPro and sell in Australia. BerleyPro is awesome and has tons of kayak product.

$1100+😂

@@BeardedKayakFishing jesus; is it worth it?

@@bsdgffishtuna5186from what I have been researching, it is worth it

​@@bsdgffishtuna5186 no

@@bsdgffishtuna5186 for 1100 you can get a trolling motor with remote steering and spot lock.

I am not sure how that happened, but I trimmed it post upload and it is processing. Soon it will no longer have that. Thanks bud. You are awesome and always a great support. Today working on something really cool that is going to spin heads in the boat and fishing world. Excited to share it when time is right. Involves international partnership and multiple RU-vidrs. The product is going to be remarkable and priced where nearly anyone can afford it.

@@KayakDIY can’t wait.

That is a lot 😳 319000! At least it is cheaper than houses right now.

The performance and ease of install on so many watercraft still makes it the best in that category. The power you get from the small package is impressive. The build quality is great and the replacement parts like props are cheap when needed. *I own another motor company in this space. Bixpy is now my competition, but I still respect and like what they have done.*

I have been offered to get the new K1 but rejected offer at this time due to my schedule. I just have other huge video projects right now that I think viewers will want to see more. So yes…I am sharing Bixpy marketing videos in this particular video. Soon I will get a K1 and share my personal findings. I still own the original J-series Bixpy units with no issues.

@@KayakDIY I see you have a lot of real testing videos that are good. Thanks for the reply.

@@todd.parker if you have any review scenarios or questions you want me to address with K1 let me know. I hope to catch up on video projects soon. Got a very expensive project right now in works. Just trying to give it attention. Then I will have them ship me a K1.

Buy a boat with a motor or a Dewalt drill and propeller. 😅

Definitely a quieter prop design. However, I feel at that size it would just be more to fail. The material would have thin spots if using a toroidal prop design. Also I question weeds getting jammed easier into toroidal prop with the housing cone. Definitely game changer on large boats. Just not sure it would produce enough benefit to Bixpy and would likely increase points of failure.

Exactly…! But the real toroidal props cost a fortune… but I suppose it can be printed as well…. but why are they calling this a jet … when clearly it’s NOT …!!!
