Hobie Kayaks introduces it's revolutionary new Hobie EVOLVE Series powered by Torqeedo's Ultralight 402 electric motor. For the first time in kayak history, you're one touch away from quiet, clean, and efficient electric propulsion. Go for hours at a steady two knots, or pour on the juice for a burst of speed. It's your call. This compact, German-engineered motor is custom designed with two different types of Hobie mounts to slip into your existing Hobie kayak. Quietly slip through the bass-choked shallows...Give your muscles a break during a lengthy bay cruise...Introduce a non-paddling friend to kayaking with power...The choice is yours. And with Hobie's new Hobie EVOLVE, you have more choices than ever. Two options available, one for the hard shell kayak series and one for the inflatable kayak series.
Ready-to-go Mirage well mounted, option to adapt to a Hobie Twist and Stow rudder

In my opinion I already have one of the best Kayaks on the market in a Hobie. When I go on a fishing trip with my buddies they always have trouble keeping up with me and my Hobie Mirage Drive. I can't wait to see their faces when I show up with my new Hobie Evolve Torqeedo Motor Kit dropped into the drive well on my yak, or better yet at the end of a day of fishing when they are wearing out, and I'm towing them back in at the end of the evening and I still have energy at night to keep the party going. This is gonna be standard on kayaks soon :) The one drawback is that if your in a state that requires you to register anything with a motor you will have to.

Works exactly as described. I had my local dealer
install this onto the rudder, so I am still able
to use my pedals at the same time. I am getting 6-
12 miles per charge, depending on the speed, ocean current and level of effort I put into pedaling. This gives me the confidence to go out farther and into stronger currents knowing that the combination of turbo pedals + Torqeedo will get me back safely. Just waiting for Hobie to offer additional batteries, so I can bump up my speeds without worrying about bringing down my range.

This motor really goes much faster on the water than I expected. My wife and I traveled about 5 MPH at full throttle in our Hobie Oasis. The only design flaw that I noted is the need to insert a metal "sword" into the top of the unit to push the propeller into alinement with the well slot of the motor. This is the only thing that will allow removal of the unit. It works but it's annoying when wanting quick removal of the motor while entering shallow water. You will also need this metal sword every time prior to taking your boat out of the water. The sword seems like an after thought device, unlike typical German engineering. At this price one should expect more than just a sword like push rod. It's also an easy thing to get lost as there is no place to store the blade while underway, and I doubt that it can float if it goes over board. It would be far better to have a fixed cam device for proper orientation of the propeller while at rest, or a sword that can be built as a part of the motor ready to slide into position for immediate use when needed. Presently you need to completely remove the sword when underway. Otherwise despite this minor thing I would say that this is well worth the purchase.
A:
Hobie EVOLVE Torqeedo Motor Kit is what you would need but make sure that it is the one that doesn't say i-Series and that motor you would out where the pedal drive is.
