Red Shark Bike Surf

A water bike from Spain, featuring a bike chassis mounted on an inflatable paddleboard (SUP). The unit is stable on water, making it easy to master riding. There is no electric assist, so riders rely entirely on their muscle power. The speed is about 10 km/h. For those who prefer less physical effort, the company offers an electric-powered version. When deflated, its inflatable base fits easily into a special bag, along with all accessories. The package can be conveniently placed in a car trunk or back seat, and the entire unit weighs about 8 kg. Thanks to its modular design, it can be upgraded with additional parts to transform into an electric water scooter, eSUP, or compact kayak. The Adventure version includes mounts for fishing rods and bags, while the Fitness modification is tailored for training. Its kit includes four propellers for adjusting resistance, a sporty handlebar similar to a road bike, and a special ergonomic seat for maximum comfort and effective workouts.

Schiller S1-C

A pontoon-style water bike from the USA. Buoyancy is provided by a platform with two inflatable pontoons, across which a cargo or passenger deck is installed. The mechanical version reaches speeds of up to 16 km/h. Want to go faster with less effort? There’s an E-bike version with electric assist. You’ll still need to pedal, but the electric drive helps you accelerate to 18 km/h. The Schiller S1-C is made of anodized aluminum and carbon, making it both lightweight and durable. The bike can be disassembled in 10 minutes and fits into an SUV or minivan.

Manta5 SL3+

A water bike from New Zealand that lets you feel like a participant in the America’s Cup — as we know, racing yachts of this class fly above water on hydrofoils, powered by athletes pedaling to generate pressure for their hydraulic systems. While you won’t reach racing speeds of 50 knots, you can easily achieve the average speed of a land cyclist — 20 km/h. There’s a disengageable auxiliary electric drive. The sensation of silent gliding on this bike is indescribable; you have to try it. A ten-step pedal functionality adjustment allows you to switch from complete inactivity to fully mechanical foiling. This control method lets you decide when to relax and enjoy the views or when to train and exert maximum effort on the water. The SL3 comes with a contrasting monochrome LCD display that shows essential information — battery charge, pedal control level, and throttle indicators.

JetCycle Max

A French water bike on hydrofoils. It resembles recumbent road bikes where the rider is positioned semi-reclined. To achieve hydrofoil mode, i.e., lift above water, you need to reach a speed of about 9 km/h. Steering is controlled by two handles — one turns the handlebars, and the other adjusts the foils on the go for optimal gliding.

Seabike

A portable water bike invented in Yaroslavl, Russia, which attaches to the waist via an ergonomic belt and allows you to swim by pedaling, which in turn drives a propeller. The device can be enhanced with accessories, such as a special board to ease swimming. In its top version, the bike features parts made of titanium alloy. The construction is easily assembled and disassembled for transport and weighs just over 2 kg, making it convenient to take along on a seaside trip. With the water bike, you can enjoy snorkeling or even diving.
