Fishing kayaks grow more advanced, technical and accessory-capable by the day. If you already have one, you may want to upgrade it. If you don’t have one, you may research fishing kayaks so rigged out they look like spaceships on the water.
Either way, you’ve likely considered the idea of adding a motor to your kayak. It can be an intimidating thought with many apparent obstacles to overcome. Cost, the potential of drilling into your kayak, pairing it with the correct battery and overall complexity of the installation to name a few barriers.
With any and all barriers in mind, Bixpy has created an outboard motor kit that can be adapted to almost any small watercraft without the hassle of complexity. Simple, powerful and with a plug-and-play battery, the Bixpy K-1 Outboard Motor Kit has taken everything from its predecessors and improved upon them to make one of the easiest motors to install. For all levels of experience, the Bixpy K-1 makes adding a motor to your personal watercraft headache-free.
Improved Design
The K-1 Motor is roughly 20% shorter in length than its predecessor, the J-2 Motor, yet offers the same massive output the J-2 motors provided in a quieter, sleeker and more rugged aluminum housing. The K-1 Motor is equipped with a finely tuned brushless motor for optimal performance when paired with its NASA-inspired propeller, the Bixpy PowerShroud™ and Bixpy Batteries.
With more than 140 improvements, Bixpy took everything the J-2 did well and made an even more efficient motor in a smaller size. Here are just a few of the major improvements:
Add the Bixpy K-1 to your Watercraft Without Drilling
One of the most intimidating aspect of adding an electric motor to your fishing kayak is drilling. Whether you own your first fishing kayak, or are a seasoned vet, drilling holes and adding mounts is always stressful. This can be a big hinderance for many kayak anglers wanting to add power to his or her kayak(s). Bixpy designed the K-1 with this barrier in mind.
With more than 20 mounting adapters, the Bixpy K-1 is plug-and-play ready with hundreds of existing kayaks and paddle boards. Here just a few of the mounting adapters available:
These are but a few adapters that Bixpy offers to help anglers mount the K-1 electric motor their kayak without complicated modifications. Check out their full compatibility chart to see if there is an easy adapter for your specific kayak.
Bigger, More Rugged Angler Battery
