The Malibu ePDL+ 120 puts Old Town’s ePDL+ drive on its sporty 12 foot Malibu sit-on-top hull. The drive has five assist levels plus a cruise control mode that needs no pedaling, and it runs on an included 36V lithium battery. A universal transducer mount, shallow water anchor inserts and three flush rod holders cover fishing.

KayakDIY take: Electric assist is a real help for people who want to get out longer without wearing out their knees or fighting the wind home. Read my full Old Town Malibu ePDL+ 120 review.
