The Solar Powered Outrigger is a recreation platform, an attachment to kayaks and canoes that contain a frame, a flotation pod, solar panel, controller, battery, and motor. Easily attaching to most models, it allows for a stable, powered, aquatic experience. Great for those who question their sense of balance, or as a fishing platform, or as a quick way to get around on the water. |

November 2016 Kickstarter Campaign doesn't reach goal It was a valiant attempt to generate the funds neccessary for tooling costs but we are not out of options here.....Maybe this product isn't the best suited for a crowdfunding platform due to the fact it was difficult to reach a more general audience and potential backers.....But there may be opportunity in the near future. |
