Dayana R. (5/5)

Fantastic Customer service

"being in the industry ( running ) and familiar with CS functions in store this was one of the best retail experiences in my life. . . . ."

Apex reciew

"Fantastic! Really enjoy the system"

Jonathan S. (5/5)

Excellent steering and speed.

"I am so excited to have an inflatable hybrid SUP/kayak with peddle drive! It was pretty easy to install. It made for a better day on the water knowing I could paddle or peddle to where I needed to go. The steering system worked great. The only issue I had was being a woman at 5’7” tall I had to readjust my seat a lot closer to the peddle drive to be able to reach it. My seat was on top of my magnepod which made it not accessible. I wish there was a 2nd magnepod location for this reason."

Liz S. (5/5)

The envy of the waterways

"The envy of the waterways when I am pedaling by. The apex drive makes things easier for me, someone that deals with a bad back and shoulder from my time in the service. This allows me to still enjoy the waters without wearing myself out. I can carry my drinks in the 5gal kula and enough space to throw my waterproof bag and kayak carrier. I love everything about my Bote Rackham and Apex Pedal"

Rasool E. (5/5)

Tugboat with pedal drive

"The peddle drive comes in very handy. just got back from Branson MO. and we got out on Lake Taneycomo. The current was very strong and water temp in the mid 40s°F . . with the pedal drive I was able to pull my wife on her SUP back upstream (like a good husband) not fast. . . . And yes, she did help by paddling (some). . . LOL We had lots of looks and questions about the set up. All in, I am very happy with both the board and pedal drive. This setup allows you to paddle in a few inches of water and pedal in deeper water without ever getting off the boat. I could only imagine how easy it would be to use for trolling (for fishing). What's next . . . pedal boat racing. . . LOL don't laugh it could happen. I have defiantly recommended Bote and the APEX set up. John"
