I stumbled across this facebook post by a company in Sac that’s selling King Kraft kayaks (from Alibaba?). The prices are appealing. Anybody here ever paddle/pedal one? Link below.

The moment you said Alibaba, "my spidey sense" kicked off. Warranty and other related issues come to mind. Electric, care to bet how long the battery will work, and if it proprietary?

Interesting. Their location is about 9 miles from my place. I might swing by and take a look.

I want pics Al! They have a real brick & mortar storefront and everything. But it’s hard to find info about it online.

Businesses with misspellings in their ads or promotions don't instill a ton of confidence. Yeah, I'm THAT guy.

The Alibaba connection doesn't help either.

I’d probably value these about the same as a 12-year-old Hobie with no warranty and a strong chance of developing a crack below the waterline.
Wanted to buy: Stealth ProFisha 575 or 525

I guess I already said “Hobie”, so that second part was redundant.

I did not think they sold to the public at the location.

Maybe they'll throw in a KastKing Combo with a 5000 yd spool of KastKing 40lb braid in Hot Pink...
