Someone asked how fast it'll go...

Not really sure. I'm kind of hypermiling it - I mostly leave it on the lowest power setting to maximize range.

On the low setting, I'd guess 4 km/h on motor power alone (in calm water). So add another km/h or 2 when I join in on the other side.

On the high setting, it goes faster than I could paddle! Doesn't quite get up on plane though.
