The Sea Bike is a kind of bicycle having two pontoons and a propeller for propulsion instead of wheels to pedal on water.
No, there is a huge difference. The pedal boat is a means to go on water at very low speed, while the Sea Bike is faster. A pedal boat can reach a maximum speed of 2-3km/h.
The maximum speed is about 15km/h. Depending on your condition you can keep a pace of 6 to 9 k/m without much effort.
No, it is safer and more stable than a traditional bike.
No. The Sea Bike is suitable for all people of all ages and does not require any special physical preparation or require specific skill. Any child who is able to reach the pedals can use the Sea Bike. There is no maximum age as it depends on the rider’s physical condition.
The Sea Bike is a new and innovative product, which came out only recently. We believe that local and international competitions may take place in the future.
In all rivers, lakes and sea that are at least 30 cm deep.
Yes. You just need to paddle backwards.
The Schiller Bike was invented to offer maximum performance (high speed and maneuverability). Just as the high-performance bikes are made for one person, the Sea Bike was designed for a single person.
The maximum recommended weight of the user is 120kg. In fact the sea bike can handle more weight than that but we put a safety margin for a comfortable and safety ride.
Floats are made with reinforced PVC fabric, resistant to extreme conditions. The outside PVC layer offers abrasion resistance and the inside high strength polyester fabric offers dimensional stability, tensile and tear strength. The inflatables are made from the same material used in Zodiac boats.
It is very unlikely to get punctured. But if that happens, it can be easily repaired with the repair kit that came with the Sea Bike.
The rider needs no balance. Even those who cannot ride a bike can use the Sea Bike.
The Sea Bike works very well in rough water, with high performance and great stability (due catamaran configuration).
The catamaran configuration provides huge stability and does not require balance. Therefore, it is virtually impossible for you to fall into the water.
The Sea Bike can be assembled in less than 10 minutes
It does not require license. Since the Sea Bike is not motorized, it fits in the same rule of kayaks and Stand Up Paddle boards, requiring no license. For rentals of equipment, you need a Tourist Enterprise Licence from the Tourism Authority to be able to operate.
Yes, it is a great platform due to its stability. You can support a fishing rod between the connecting bars of your Sea Bike.
The gear ratio is fixed and suitable to the propeller used to ensure maximum thrust with minimal effort in the normal pedaling conditions (typical cycling cadence).
Yes, the Sea Bike provides a gentle, low impact aerobics total body workout; but it all depends on how fast you pedal!
We operate rain or shine, but do not operate under dangerous conditions. In the event it rains during your reserved time, we’ll make sure to get you set up for a new time.
Yes. The Sea Bike is very stable, virtually untippable and unsinkable! We will also provide you with a life jacket and our rescue boat equipped with safety buoy and first aid kit is always within reach.
