Kaku Zulu 12.7: Paddle, Pedal, Trolling Motor or Outboard
I check out the new Kaku Zulu 12.7, a kayak built so you can paddle it, pedal it or put a motor on it.
What’s in this video
This is a first look at the new Kaku Zulu 12.7 at ICAST. The idea is simple: paddle it, pedal it or motorize it. You could buy it as a paddle kayak and upgrade to pedal later, and it’s set up for a trolling motor or a gas outboard.
At the time, production models were set for September 2019 and MSRP was still to be determined. If you want one boat that can grow with you, from paddle to pedal to motor, this one is worth a look.
Quick takeaways
- You could buy the Zulu as a paddle kayak and upgrade it to pedal later.
- It can take a trolling motor or a gas outboard.
