Hobie were the first brand to develop the pedal drive kayak back in 1997 with the release of the Hobie Mirage Drive. This is a pedal system based on driving two fins side-to-side beneath the kayak by stepping alternately on pedals in the footwell. Over time, more and more users found the benefits of powering a kayak with your feet. Kayak anglers in particular noticed huge improvements and advantages for kayak fishing.

With the kayak propelled through the water using your feet, your hands are left free to fish with! Hold the rod whilst trolling a lure, hold position in a current or tide, move whilst playing a fish, tackle up whilst on the move and more! You can be sure to find that fishing from a Hobie Kayak is easier than from a traditional paddle kayak.

Over time, Hobie have refined the system continually based on R&D and customer feedback. The latest range of Hobie Mirage Drives offer an efficient, smooth and reliable pedalling experience for ease of powering your kayak through the water.
