What is Hobie mirage Drive?

Mirage Drive is a standard, which is a superb means of propulsion. They work much like penguin fins with surprising speed and ease. It is simple and easy to use. Your feet rest on the pedals and you pedal effortlessly, similar to a bicycle.

Merits of Mirage Drive.

1.The kayak is pedaled rather than paddled. Your legs are much stronger and it is easier to tour with this system than with paddle. You can go much further, faster and really is non-strenuous.

2.You stay dry as pedaling eliminates drips that you get from using a paddle. The Mirage is quiet and creates no splash.

3.It leaves your hand free for fishing, photography, or holding a drink.

4.The Hobie mirage steering controls are positioned at arm’s length, giving precise control of the kick up rudder. The control of the kayak is same as with a larger sailboat in one hand, tiller in the other.

5.The fins below the kayak act as keel, which helps you to sail the kayak upwind.

6.The Hobie kayaks have plug in cart to wheel it around and the fact that being rotomolded polyethylene they are indestructible.
