Wetbike
One time out on Wetbike is one time to remember. The watercycle sits squarely in the water. Get behind is, grasp the handles and get the feel. With one good skootch you should be able to slide up into the saddle. Keep your balance. Turn the electric start. And gently open the throttle.
The 50 h.p. Spirit jet drive magnificently propels you to the surface, water beads glistening in the sun. And it does it without any propeller. The jet stream of water is backed by 723 cc's of factory tested Spirit power. Plus reliable Mikuni carburetors, super efficient reed valves and low maintenance CD ignition. Enough power to ride single or two up. Or even to pull a water skier.
You handle Wetbike like a motorcycle. Lean into turns, respond to the feel and Wetbike responds right back. To come to a stop, ease up on the throttle and Wetbike settles gently into the water again. It does the same if you take a spill, with a safety tether switch and spring loaded "off throttle".
Wetbike launches anywhere boats can and even where boats can't It trailers and unloads just like a boat or wheels across the sand on the two wheeled Beach Buddy.
