      We offer information on pedal powered boats (PPBs), also known as HPBs (human powered boats), watercycles, or waterbikes. Test trials, comparisons and reviews of boats are available. The sport of pedal boating has produced watercraft that are surprisingly easy to use, efficient and clearly environmentally friendly. For touring, racing, adventuring, nature trips or exercise, pedal boats are a fun and safe way to pedal to a healthier you, that you control to go lazily or speedy depending on your effort. Some boats are even being enhanced with sail or now are equipped with electric motors as an option or are adaptable for the disabled. They are used for quiet transportation on lakes, rivers, or open sea. Pedal powered boats vary in design from pedal boards, kayaks, catamarans, or inflatable boats to deep draft monohulls. Prices range from $1000 to $4000 US.

     Since 1986, I've been involved with pedal powered boats crusading for their development and marketing. As a former officer of the Human Powered Vehicle Association I've helped those interested in finding out more about manufactured boats, racing boats, and the oceanic expeditions using pedal powered boats.

      With the first attempt to circle the globe by human power alone well underway, the "Expedition 360/Pedal for the Planet", which includes a program for kids, shows that there's more to pedal boating than you might think. People have crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, traveled to Alaska from Washington, and gone from Alberta to Halifax via the Mississippi in pedal powered boats.
