Bixby Canada Electric Fishing Kayak Motors (Available Online Only)

Fast forward to summer of 2014. The now Bixpy founder (Houman Nikmanesh), is stuck about 5 miles off the coast of San Diego in a Hobie Island sailboat with no wind and too tired to pedal home against the outgoing tide. 

After finally making it home, he went looking for a compact, affordable electric motor for small watercraft and quickly discovered that nothing on the market quite fit the bill.
