How to Motorize Your Native Slayer Propel 10 LTE Kayak with Bixpy

If you own a Native Slayer Propel 10 LTE, adding a Bixpy electric motor is one of the smartest and easiest upgrades you can make. This kayak is already lightweight, stable, and perfect for fishing, but pairing it with a Bixpy motor instantly expands your range, boosts your speed, and helps you cover more water with far less effort. 

Native Pedal Drive Adapter

Using the Native Pedal Drive Adapter, the installation becomes a simple, no-drill, drop-in process that fits into your pedal drive opening. All you need to do is remove the pedal-drive lid, place the adapter into the cavity, and secure it with the built-in bungees—no cutting, no tools, and no permanent changes. 

One of the best parts is that you can keep both your pedal drive and your motor on board. You can lift the pedals when you want full motor power or use both together to extend your battery life on long days.

Once the adapter is seated, you simply route the motor cable to your battery and place the battery where it best fits your setup—most paddlers choose under the seat, inside the front hatch, or in a rear gear crate. With the motor now centered beneath the kayak, you steer using your existing rudder controls, which makes the whole experience feel natural and smooth from the first moment on the water. Turns are controlled and intuitive, and you won’t need any extra steering equipment. This clean integration is one of the biggest advantages of motorizing through the pedal-drive opening.

Power Pole Adapter

If you prefer stern mounting, the Power Pole Adapter gives you another easy, drill-free option. It attaches directly to the factory Power Pole insert on your kayak. All you need to do is remove the plastic plugs, secure the Power Pole plate to your kayak using the four bolts, and then attach the vertical pole with the K-1 motor. Once that’s in place, you’re ready to go. 

The adapter has a hinged design that lets you lift the motor completely out of the water when launching or moving through shallow areas, and the adjustable depth lets you choose exactly how high or low the motor sits. You can lock the motor in position with the locking pin and steer using your kayak’s rudder, or you can add Bixpy pole steering if you prefer to steer directly with the motor.

The entire mount is made from marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials, making it durable in both saltwater and freshwater, and the quick-release feature makes transport and storage effortless. It’s one of the most flexible and reliable ways to run a Bixpy K-1 Motor on the back of your kayak.

Why a Bixpy Motor Is the Perfect Upgrade for Your Native Kayak

Upgrading to a Bixpy motor isn’t just about speed—it’s about unlocking the full potential of your Native kayak. The Bixpy K-1 Motor delivers quiet, efficient power in an ultra-compact design built for real-world conditions. The motor housing is waterproof, dirt-proof, corrosion-resistant, and made with anodized aluminum for long-term use. It cools itself through the surrounding water for maximum efficiency, uses an airfoil fin for better tracking, and includes a permanently attached cable for lasting durability. 

Bixpy focuses on simplicity, reliability, and real support, making this upgrade one of the most dependable ways to enhance your time on the water.

If you’re ready to elevate your Native Watercraft experience, the process is as straightforward as it gets. One adapter, one motor, a few minutes of installation, and you’re on the water with more freedom, more range, and more possibilities—powered by Bixpy.
