The new Old Town ePDL+

I’m intrigued. I really like the idea of an electric assist pedal kayak that you can choose the assist level.

They claim 3 hours on level 5, 23 hours at level 3 and 46 hours at level 1. “with average load and calm conditions”.

I’m not really interested in it being a big fat pig at 143 lbs, but it looks very stable and standable.

I’m hoping to demo one when they come out!

Saw Annies video of it, and thought that sounds like a brilliant idea!  Be interesting seeing the run time for someone that fishes from it.

Like the idea but not so much on the price tag!

I wish they'd made a drop-in upgrade for existing PDL's.

Picked one up Saturday. I’ll be giving my review soon. I was worried a little about the weight. With the drive out, my wife and I easily carried it 100’ to my trailer. Not bad at all. Feels only slightly heavier than my Moken.

pedal assist does sound attractive
