Hobie Kayaks
Hobie eVolve
Background
Navigating a current-ripped bay… A longer-than-expected coastal tour… A quick run across the lake to a favored fishing shoal…
How many examples can you think of where a boost of power would make your kayak experience that much more fun?
That’s the theory behind Hobie Kayaks' revolutionary new eVolve Series powered by Torqeedo’s Ultra light 402 electric motor.
For the first time in kayak history, you’re one touch away from quiet, clean, and efficient electric propulsion. Go for hours at a steady two knots, or pour on the juice for a burst of speed. It’s your call. This compact, German-engineered motor is custom designed with two different types of Hobie mounts to slip into your existing Hobie kayak.
Quietly slip through the bass-choked shallows… Give your muscles a break during a lengthy bay cruise… Introduce a non-paddling friend to kayaking with power…

Rudder Position Mount
A lightweight aluminum assembly allows you to convert your motor into a stern mounted option. Easily adapting to a Hobie Twist and Stow rudder, this makes for a quick conversion to a hybrid kayak…allowing you to pedal and use the electric motor at the same time to extend your range. Or, turn off the motor and use it as a rudder with the MirageDrive™ as the ultimate stealth propulsion system to your favorite fishing or bird watching spot.
Mirage Well Mount
The Mirage mounted Hobie eVolve comes built and ready to run out of the box. This configuration allows you to convert your Hobie Mirage kayak into a compact electric craft by just dropping the eVolve into the well. Weighing in at only 6.4 pounds, this drive is built from durable materials and a shock absorption spine to hold up to years of enjoyment.
