Real-World Performance
The DrivePod V3 lets a Shearwater 125 owner configure the kayak around a compatible Hobie Mirage Drive by swapping the pod into the kayak's designated pod area. Once the drive is seated, the QuickLock system handles drive retention and makes removal straightforward when you need to take the pedal drive out of the kayak.
Put Your Preferred Drive in the Shearwater
Make the DrivePod V3 the connection between your Shearwater 125 and a compatible Hobie Mirage Drive instead of building around a makeshift pedal-drive solution.
