Frequenty Asked Questions

What is the FluxJet Kayak made of?

The hull is constructed from Rotomolded High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This is the industry-standard material known for its superior impact resistance, UV protection, and long-term durability against scrapes and impacts common with kayak launching and use.

What does the kayak weigh?

88 lbs (bare hull), 112 lbs (fitted hull), and 122 lbs (rigged hull). The fitted weight includes the installed jet motor system and electronics. The rigged weight also includes the seat and battery box.

What are the specs for the accessory rails?

The kayak features universal accessory rails that are compatible with all major fishing brands, including YakAttack, Railblaza, RAM Mounts, and Scotty T-bolt-style attachments. The hull includes a dedicated, protected mounting plate for most standard transducers.

Is the FluxJet easy to transport and launch?

At 122 lbs in weight, the FluxJet Kayak can be lifted onto your vehicle's roof rack by two people without any kayak lift. If necessary, anyone can use a kayak lift, a roof bar extension or a dolly to assist. The kayak shape allows use of any standard kayak trolley with bunk arms to transport it to the water, and with a flat hull, there's no risk you'll damage the motor.

How does the jet handle weeds and shallow water?

The FluxJet Kayak has been designed to integrate the jet motor inside the profile of the kayak, so there are no protruding shafts, props, fins or rudders to snag on weeds or hit the bottom. You can put in reverse and clear debris.

What is the top speed of the FluxJet Kayak?

The FluxJet Kayak can reach speeds of 6+ mph depending on the battery. We have documented speed trials reaching 7.2 MPH in recent production updates.

A 12V battery will power the kayak at speeds of approx 3.8 mph, while a 24V battery can achieve 4.9 mph and 36V can reach 6 mph. Ideally, a 36V, 48V, or 60V battery is used to reach top speeds. You can view our Real-World Speed Trials here.

What is the weight limit of the FluxJet Kayak?

The FluxJet Kayak is rated for up to 400lbs (including the rider, gear, and battery).

What size battery can I use?

What happens when I run out of battery?

The kayak has a battery meter and most off-the-shelf batteries offer bluetooth data for exact capacity readings. Also remember that slowing down just a small amount can dramatically extend your run time and range. Always carry your paddle with you!

Is a battery charger included?
