Imagine gliding through the water like a majestic dugong, but with the power to propel yourself with your legs! That’s the promise of the Seabike, a revolutionary underwater mobility device from a French company. This ingenious contraption resembles an underwater unicycle. You adjust the pole’s length, strap it to your waist, and pedal away. A 15-inch propeller kicks in, transforming you into a human-powered torpedo.
Gone are the days of flailing limbs. Cruise effortlessly, arms outstretched like Superman, or delve deeper, mimicking a pedal-powered fish. Feeling adventurous? Take your Seabike on a SCUBA diving expedition! Just remember, depths and exertion levels go hand-in-hand. This marvel of engineering isn’t just for leg power. Flip it over, grab the handles (replacing the pedals), and propel yourself with your arms – though it might not be as exhilarating.
Safety first! The slow-turning propeller makes it pool-friendly, though traditional swimmers might give you the side-eye. And don’t worry about losing it – the Seabike is buoyant.
Open water exploration becomes a breeze with the Seabike. The company even offers snorkeling tours and sells compatible snorkel boards and spear fishing kits. Plus, it conveniently folds for easy storage.
Forget electric gadgets with limited battery life. The Seabike is a refreshingly simple, mechanical marvel – fueled by your own energy (and maybe a hot dog!).
Seabike has been around for a year, with prices starting at a reasonable €290. While not yet a household name, this ingenious and fun gadget seems poised to make a splash.
For those who’ve ever questioned the point of kicking their legs while swimming (fins or no fins), the Seabike offers a compelling answer. The manufacturers claim it propels you faster than even a skilled swimmer with fins. Sign us up – we’d love to take this underwater bike for a spin!
