X1 Water Bike
Developed with state-of-the-art engineering and design, the Schiller will simultaneously revolutionize the water sports and cycling industries, enabling millions of people around the world to have an exhilarating, dynamic and safe biking experience on the water, one that has virtually no learning curve. This is the next frontier in biking – road, mountain, and now, water, kicking off a new sport and recreational activity that will change the way people look at waterways around the globe.
The number of ‘firsts’ here are pretty astounding. For example:
- This is one of the only bikes in the world that goes in reverse
- Rudderless technology and twin oscillating props are controlled at the handlebars
- Unlike any boat, wave runner, Kayak, or Stand Up Paddleboard, the X1 fits into the trunk of a car or home closet
The X1 is the most advanced production water bike in the world. Its iconic design features striking curves, bold colors, an anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel precision engineered parts. A proprietary drive train employs Gate carbon drive belts, flexible shafts, and twin oscillating propellers that move left and right, eliminating the need for a rudder. Dual chamber, rugged, inflatable pontoons ensure maximum rider safety on the water. The X1 bike train is virtually maintenance free and is contained within a watertight compartment that is serviceable by bike mechanics around the world. The X1 can achieve speeds of approximately 8 knots per hour (10 miles per hour) depending on rider ability. The bike is ergonomically designed with interchangeable bike components (saddle, handlebars, cranks, and pedals), LED lighting and a variety of system features to ensure maximum safety on the water.
