Motorizing Hobie Lynx Kayaks with a Bixpy Motor

Hobie Lynx kayaks have become a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts due to their innovative design, versatility, and high-quality construction. Whether for fishing, recreational paddling, wildlife observation, fitness, or exploration, these kayaks offer features and performance that cater to a wide range of activities and preferences. The combination of hands-free propulsion, stability, lightweight construction, and customizable options makes the Hobie Lynx a standout choice in the kayaking world.

Now, you can take your Hobie Lynx kayak to the next level by adding a Bixpy motor using an easy-to-install powered rudder.

Easy Installation with the Bixpy Gudgeon

The new Bixpy Gudgeon is designed specifically for the Lynx rudder bracket, allowing you to replace your kayak's existing rudder with a Bixpy Versa Rudder and Bixpy motor. The installation process is straightforward and requires zero modifications to your kayak—no drilling, glues, or epoxies are needed. It's a simple plug-and-play setup!

Steering Options

To steer the rudder, choose the Pole Steering option when you purchase the Versa Rudder. This steering option is easy to install and provides excellent leverage, making it an effective way to steer the rudder when under power. (you will need a paintbrush or broomstick pole for this adapter).

Performance Benefits

Given the Lynx's lightweight and excellent hull shape, adding a Bixpy motor significantly enhances its speed and performance. The motorization offers two power options:

• PP-378: Powers your Lynx kayak for over 10 hours at trolling speeds and about 75 minutes at full power.
• PP-768: Powers your Lynx kayak for up to 24 hours, providing over 2 hours of full speed and an additional turbo speed option.

Compatibility and Recommendations

The Bixpy Versa Rudder is compatible with all Bixpy motors (J-1, J-2, and K-1 motors). This combination allows you to motorize Hobie inflatable iTrek kayaks as well as the Lynx kayaks. However, it is not recommended to use the motor on inflatable kayaks at higher speeds, as this may eventually damage the kayak's hull integrity.

Final Word

Motorizing your Hobie Lynx kayak with a Bixpy motor is the best way to enhance your kayaking experience without modifying your kayak or adding extra hardware. It's a fuss-free solution that provides extended power and improved performance on the water.
