This high-performance, human-powered water bike is beautiful, amazingly compact and anyone can ride it. Trifecta! But don¹t be superficial enough to only pick it solely for its sexy looks; this is a rugged piece of equipment ­ the perfect gift for the cycling enthusiast with the love of water.

TECHNOLOGY

The Schiller bike is constructed out of anodized aluminum, stainless steel, a proprietary propulsion and steering system, and rugged, inflatable pontoons that allow for easy transport, assembly and breakdown. 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 any bike mechanic 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. Unlike any boat, wave runner, Kayak, or Stand Up Paddleboard, the X1 fits into the trunk of a car or closet.
