Pedal drive kayaks are becoming more and more popular, especially with anglers as they give hands free propulsion allowing the fisherman to cast and play a fish whilst moving.
The Mako 12 from Riot comes with the new Impulse drive – this propeller system allows the kayaker to pedal both forwards and backwards controlling the direction of the kayak with a hand operated rudder. The Impulse Drive unit is very light and can easily be removed and securely clipped to the bow of the kayaks when in shallow water.
The Mako is very well thought out with a very comfortable seat that can be moved back and forth on rails to accommodate for different height pedalers. The Riot Mako 12 is slightly larger than the Mako 10 at 12’4” and better suited to heavier paddlers with a capacity of just over 210kg – but even this only weighs 33kg with the seat and drive removed.
Despite its light weight, the Mako has a full complement of fishing accessories already fitted including several gear tracks, flush mounted rod holders and even a fully fitted anchor trolley on each side.
