What do y’all think of the Bixpy K-1

Ай бұрын

Been using a K1 on a ‘18 Hobie Outback with the twist and stow rudder mount. I’ve been impressed with it so far. Battery life of the Bixpy battery isn’t given enough credit. I don’t run full speed everywhere, but I’ve still yet to kill it while out on the water… and I’ve been fishing on some long trips around Galveston area.

I have the J-2. And love it. Never used up the battery. I can go 3 days. I spend about 7 hours a day but only use the motor to get from place to place. Otherwise use the Hobie pedal drive. But at 71, it's great to be able to cruise back without effort!

I like them. Had one in my cart forever but ultimately decided on a 55lb TM mounted in my pedal drive hole. Added auto boat to it so I had anchor lock. Still a few hundred less than the Bixpy. But I’m still a fan of the system. I like the rudder mount version.

Overpriced. Great concept, but there are no brushless motors or battery/inverter that would come close to that expensive...and they are expensive. 800bucks would get you twice the range and power. What a joke.

​@TexasPapa13 exactly, a 1000 watt 100lb thrust salt water trolling motor is ten times better. And for controls, just detach the head and extend the wires, also with steering obviously. It's easy.

I’ve had the K1 for a year now. I use on my Hobie Outback with the adapter to fit into where the pedals go. I didn’t want to go through the transom mounting. It’s very portable and easy to swap with the pedals while out on the water. I like it and it’s been a good solution for me. Best speed I have gotten on a fully loaded Outback is 4mph.

Best trick I found on you tube for putting the line through the steering tubes was to use a leaf blower. Works like a charm.

I've been debating the trolling motor addition to my Recon 120 HD and keep the pedals and rudder functional. I wanted to go with the Yak Hoby Beavertail rudder but I'm going with the Bixpy and Versa rudder now. Makes using the motor with another kayak way easier. Thanks for the review

It's also worth mentioning that the smaller battery shown in this video floats.

Priced out the K1/ Battery, bixby mount, Bonafide Plate, 9’ Extension Cable, Bonafide foot pedal steering & kit for better Shroud +spare prop for the RvR 119 came in @ $2K incl shipping/ Tx for both orders.

I'll be eager to see your review of the NK180PRO

Been waiting for this vid. Ty. 🍻

Great review and video. Considering this for my Bonafide SS127. I like how it’s small and easy to install and remove.

Great review. The Newport is a lithium battery BUT insanely expensive. I do like how you can use any battery with them though.

Watching the entire review now. I really want the K1 for my RVR 119 weight is premium to me

Not a bad deal for lower priced unit, fair speed and battery longevity. Be a good product for a lighter kayak.

Great information how about one on budget friendly kayaks just asking i am a big guy and on a low budget thank you

for the bolts you can cut them down or use an angled grinder

100, looking for a simpler end user deal is all.

I'm trying to figure out where I can find this $40,000 truck with a factory warranty... 🤔🤣 Hahaha! Thanks for another in depth video. I'm in the market for a motor on my Sportsman PDL 106 but still probably going to still go with a Newport.

Wow Jeff ,I didn't know that you could go that fast in a kayak. That big water is we're it's at in speed. Maybe the next one I get. it's pretty expensive for that epdl version, but sweet looking!

The newest gen2 pro battery is smaller than the gen1 pro kit battery. Which is great since the other one is so big.

I just did an install of one of these on my buddies 120pdl. Way too loud the battery is a major issue and you would think it would be a little more weedless. Looks great but the nk kills it

It’s definitely not silent after speed 6 out of 10. We will be testing the nk real soon

Hi Guys Really like your channel - like kids in the candy shop on the unboxing videos it is infectious.Any how I am based in the UK however during a recent holiday in France I thought I would have some fun spinning for perch etc- however when I went to the tackle store I was confronted with a whole array of lures that the guy assured me worked - and boy did they had so much fun - so am thinking of carrying on here - I have at present a Daiwa Ninja rod - 7-25g rating but will also be buying a rod to cast lighter lures (although the above does well with 5g lures) - however I am at the point of choosing the reel and am tempted by the Shimano slx dc xt- what I find incredible is that you speak of really light weight 32nd of an ounce which you cast with these reels - can a lure that light really get a baitcasting reel spinning enough to make an effective cast? Apolgies if this seems a basic question but I have always been used to a fixed spool reel and perhaps need some reassurance from you guys in the know before I purchase- like you buy once cry once! Regards

you certainly can cast lures that light with a good BFS reel. You would likely have a tough time on a Shimano SLX XT. We'd recommend reels rated to go that light. Options include: Daiwa Salamandura, Flight Feather Cormorant, Ark BFS, Daiwa BFS, Shimano Aldabaren, and others. Pick your poison by price point! All of those are fantastic.

New on the channel, impeccable review! I have an inflatable fishing kayak: Aquaglide Blackfoot 160, 16 feet long and am looking for the most compact and powerful motor. I am hesitating between the (Bixpy K-1 Angler Pro Outboard Kit) and the (Scubajet PRO Overwater Kit / Scubajet PRO XR HD) I would love to have such a detailed review on this product.

i personally appreciate this outstanding review i bought nk180 for 700 bought 2 12. 50 ah for 300 so about 1 k in price.. do you guys in michigan need to register your kayak wih motorThanks

@aaanglers

Ай бұрын

Thanks! Yes, you have to register with Secretary of State for any motor.

Is there a reason why you used 2 screws instead the hand screws that’s provided with the mount on 106 kayak ?

@aaanglers

Ай бұрын

We used 4 screws on the mount, because the screws included with our 106 were too short

I'd like to see the motor mounted where the pedal drive goes, have you guys done that yet ? Thanx.

@aaanglers

Ай бұрын

We have not done that. Not sure if we will either. It's best for Hobie and Vibe kayaks I think.

What would give Bixby a 10 instead of a 9 on customer service? Seems like they did a great job providing you a replacement.

@aaanglers

10 outta 10 is gonna be tough for anyone. It would be going way above and beyond. I don’t think it would be fair to give a 10 here, because they sent me the product and will obviously take care of me because Im reviewing it. If I wasn’t making a review as a normal customer, and they gave me this service, then id be even closer to a 10.

can use an air compressor to blow the line through the tube

Hot tip!

That trolling motor in the corner would do the same thing for 600$ and a battery with 4 times the stored power. What a joke.
