New Drive System for Pedal Boats - Feedback Needed!

[pmdproject]

Hi everyone,

We are three business students from the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge, UK. We are currently working on a project for a small company called Pulse Marine Drives.

They have patented a unique drive system for pedal boats, but currently have little idea about whether there will be sufficient interest in the product to take it further.

The drive system follows nature’s design, allowing for speeds of up to 15km/h whilst being both manoeuvrable and safe.

We thought that because everyone here is a keen boat enthusiast, the users of this forum might be particularly interested in the boat and able to provide us with some very valuable feedback. Therefore we’d really appreciate it if some of you would watch a very brief video of the boat before completing a very quick 5 minute online survey for us.

The link to the video and survey is below:

If you have any other questions about the boat or want to hear more about it, you can contact us via the feedback section of the survey.

Thanks very much for your time and assistance!

James, Richard and Will

Outside of exercise i don't think there is much of a market. Have you seen the Hobie mirage drive system(http://www.hobiecat.com/kayaking/miragedrive.html)? For use in fishing it would need to be hands free and quiet.

They cannot have cared much about our opinions. After only 6 days of their post, the survey is closed and there is not way to view the video.
