The ePDL+ drops into the PDL console with no wiring and has a built-in kill switch. It offers five speed settings and a cruise control mode where you don’t need to pedal at all. It comes in three versions (106 and 120 PDL, BigWater PDL and Malibu PDL), so match yours to your hull.

Good to know

- Runtime drops fast at top speed (about 1 hour at Cruise 5), so use lower cruise settings for long runs.
KayakDIY take: Turning a pedal kayak you already own into a power-assist boat is a great upgrade path. For more options, see my best pedal kayaks guide.
