"Fishing from a Viking Profish kayak with the Bixpy electric jet is an absolute game changer. This weapon will blown my mind. No more struggling against wind, tide, and currents, giving you a stable and more enjoyable fishing adventure. This is the perfect solution for any fisher. You want one, trust me - you need one!”

This incredible micro jet motor can power you along at up to 10kph, although the best way to use it is as a paddle assist (kind of like an E-Bike, you still paddle) but it's much easier using it this way. You will extend your range from 10 km to 25 km+!

It's not just about making it easier to get around, the other cool advantages are that you can fish or take photos and video totally hands free, the steering is done via the foot rests controlling the rudder and direction of the motor's thrust. This allows you to hold position in wind and current very easily. When it's time to head back in it's very nice to cruise along with little effort, even if there is a head wind or current.
If you have a partner or smaller person that would like to come along, but aren't strong paddlers, then this is the perfect solution! They can come and really enjoy their time on the water with you.

The unique feature that separates this motor from all others is the micro propeller, at just 60mm wide it creates almost no drag when you want to paddle your kayak without the motor running. You simply paddle and use the rudder as you normally would.

Other motors have large propellers that, due to the huge amount of drag they create, need to be lifted from the water when you want to, or need to, paddle without the motor running. This can destabilise the kayak and removes the ability to turn and manoeuvre easily. These large and heavier motors don't bolt neatly to your rudder blade either, they normally require bulky mounting hardware and large, heavy batteries.

For customers who do have a rudder system on their Viking kayak, the Bixpy Quick Swap Kit simply drops into the rudder bracket, replacing the standard rudder with the Bixpy Jet Motor.  It clips on with the supplied carabiners and R pin to make swapping between a rudder and the motor super quick and easy in only 20 seconds!

For customers who don't have a rudder on your Viking Reload / GT/ 400 then you will also need the Rudder and Toe Tab kit. If you would like the option of swapping between the Bixpy motor and standard rudder, then you will need the complete rudder kit instead.
