Vibe Kayaks Uptown 100 Lite

Inflatable Pedal Drive Kayak/SUP

The Vibe Kayaks Uptown 100 Lite is a feature packed inflatable pedal drive sit on top kayak with a super comfortable and adjustable metal framed seat, perfect for use on lakes rivers and broads by kids and adults alike. The lightweight and modular inflatable design uses drop stitch technology like found in many paddleboards to creates a confidence inspiring rigid platform.

The pedal drive housing fits into the Uptown during inflation for a secure hold and providing safe mountings for a Vibe Impulse propellor drive. Pedalling just like riding a bike, the propellor drive makes it easy to swap between forward and reverse by simply pedalling in the opposite direction. Mounting onto a dual sliding track the Impulse Drive can be adjusted to fit a wide range of pedallers leg lengths, a small amount of adjustment can be made to the Switchback seat thanks to its easy securing straps. The Switchback seat is a super comfortable metal framed seat, made with the same framing and fabric of Vibe's other kayak seats which provide incredible comfort and support, an adjustable backrest angle allows seat personalisation for an ideal fit. 

The Vibe Uptowns rudder system straps onto the rear of the kayak with controls which mount onto one of the seats side t-tracks, this allows for personalised mounting and provides super nimble one handed steering, great for navigating tight waterways whilst keeping a second hand free. Up haul and downhaul lines can be used to raise and lower the rudder, ideal when launching and landing. A fixed touring sup fin can also be fitted to the Uptown to improve straight line tracking, ideal if you're paddling out to deep waters before dropping the drive into place.

Fitted with 4 vibe gear track bases which are perfect for light duty accessories such as fish finder mounts, rod holders, and camera mounts.  Additional bungeed areas front and back are ideal for storing further accessories in dry bags or fishing crates. Supplied with a 4-Piece Roamer iSUP Hybrid Paddle which can be converted between a dual bladed kayak paddle and one bladed SUP paddle, high pressure pump and roller storage bag. When disassembled and deflated the Uptown easily fits into this storage bag the roller wheels making it super easy to move to and from the car and into storage.

If you are looking for a lightweight, versatile and inflatable pedal drive kayak with accessory mounts and lots of storage the Vibe Uptown 100 Lite should be a serious consideration.
