ADVANTAGES

The Kahe POD is designed and engineered by our team in Lacanau (Gironde, France) and it is assembled in Marnaz (Hautes Alpes, France).
The propulsion transforms your classic boat into an electrically assisted boat !
Navigating with the Kahe POD makes it easier to go further. Propulsion cancels out the effects of wind and currents. It also balances the levels within a group of people with different physical conditions or boats.
The Kahe POD is very easy to use: it connects in one gesture instead of the classic fin, on a SUP, a canoe, a kayak or an inflatable boat or tender. The remote control is fixed to the wrist or to the paddle using a bracelet provided in the pack. It allows you to choose your speed and keep an eye on the available battery level.
The propulsion is silent and light (only 1.7 kg). Battery is removable in three seconds, and you can use a second battery if you need more range. Kahe POD is authorized on the plane (in the cabin for the battery, 2 per passenger).

Stand-Up Paddle compatibility

Please contact-us if your product is not in the list ! 

Kayak compatibility

If your craft is not equipped with standard sliding fin box or US fin box :  It is quite easy to stick a compatible fin support on your inflatable boat (in the center) while leaving the fin at the back in its fin box. This operation is simple for inflatable boats (gluing with PVC glue). We also have solutions for rigid kayaks (Rotomod, RTM, BIC, Tahe...).    Example of fin supports to be glued, compatible with the Kahe POD:
- Itiwit support available at Decathlon (Decathlon even offers to glue this support on your boat in their workshops). This support is perfectly compatible with the Kahe POD.
- Or a standard support available from a large number of resellers, for example a fin support to stick on amazon.
We can glue or fix the fin support to your boat in our workshop in Lacanau.
