SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Feb. 6, 2025 –Otter Bike AG proudly unveils the Otter Explorer, a two-seater, electrically-assisted water bike designed for effortless exploration. Inspired by the practicality of e-bikes on land, the OTTER Explorer introduces a new category of watercraft that combines adventure, comfort, and relaxation.
"Simply copying the concept of an e-bike onto water doesn't work. On water, people also want to relax and have a good time together," said Gian Zimmermann, Founder of Otter Bike AG. "That's why we created the OTTER Explorer as a powerful, yet also social and comfortable craft, featuring side-by-side seating, breathable mesh seats, and a hammock at the rear for sunbathing and relaxation after a swim."
Available in a limited series this May, the OTTER Explorer is perfect for those seeking a unique blend of activity and comfort in watersport equipment. Among the current pre-orders are resorts, watersport rental operators, and private individuals.
Key Features & Benefits
- Powerful Assistance and Long Range: With the powerful assistance of up to 1000W, riders can reach speeds of up to 10 km/h without effort. The bike's cruise mode supports journeys of up to 20 kilometers.
- Innovative, Swiss-engineered Drivetrain: The OTTER Explorer's fully electric drivetrain eliminates the mechanical link to the propeller, delivering a smooth and responsive pedaling experience—comparable to cycling on land. The system includes adjustable gears, various assistance modes and a steer-by-wire system for superior maneuverability.
- Compact and Transportable: While fully assembled, the OTTER Explorer provides the stability and space of a proper catamaran. However, it can be quickly disassembled into a compact form smaller than a Jet Ski, making it easy to transport and store.
- Designed for Comfort and Socializing: Built to accommodate up to three adults (or a family of four), the OTTER Explorer offers premium comfort with mesh seating, insulated storage for keeping drinks cool, and a spacious sunbathing area.
