@@AliexFolgueira I haven't measured the speed, but with speeds 1 - 6 I paddle leisurely for steering and a little bit extra speed and I can go all day and maybe use 20% battery. At speed 12, it eats battery but paddling does not make it go faster ;). Just for reference I usually go out from blimp road down in Cudjoe Key and head out to Content Keys, Sawyer Keys and around the backcountry and back to blimp road. Next time I'm out I'll get a speed reading.
Speed should be the same. Adding an extra motor wouldn't increase speed. It would just increase torque and battery efficiency. If it's anything like a multi outboard regular boat those fishing boats with 5 outboard motors go the same speed as if it had 1. Just gets to speed easier by providing 5x the torque to fight against current and waves. Mainly posting this for anyone that is thinking of adding multiple bixpy jets or multiple trolling motors for double the speed it doesn't work like that. Doubles the torque output. A 38lb thrust will always be just a 38lb thrust speed wise. Add 10 38lb thrust motors to a boat and it's going to go 5-7 mph. But be able to do that 5-7 mph on clam water but also against current, wind, waves etc. Where 1 38lb thrust motor does 5-7 mph on calm water but just doesn't have the torque to fight the wind or current.
Awesome video! I took inspiration from an old video of yours and put two Bixpy K1s on my L4expedition, It is great!
That is awesome! how fast does it go for you?

@palaudiver that's a about 7 miles, takes about 1 1/2 hours?
@@AliexFolgueira Yeah, each way, going easy and fishing along the way 2ish hours.

Affiliate code wasn’t working for bixpy website is their a new updated code?
bixpy says the k1 has more power than the j2 , is it noticeable or not really ?
not really
nice
$1,200 to go at 4mph....🤔... No thanks ...
$3000 for 6.5MPH?
hahaha you got that right man i wouldnt spend 3 grand on motor with heavy battery im sticking with my bixpy
