French company Seabike has developed a swimming device that uses your own leg power to accelerate you through the water at superhuman speeds. This crank-driven pusher prop looks a bit like an underwater unicycle... We'd love to take one for a spin!
when its underway i guess the “seat” lets you steer (with your thighs) a bit and gives a point of leverage for the unclipping (especially when its the singleton clip/unclip).
not sure why, but it all seems a bit inelegant. but if it multiplies effort anywhere near what a bike can do, that’s a big achievement.
They probably rotate their foot 45° to lock and unlock.
aha i just saw the “seat”. guess thats what makes it possible
You thought the thing was just entirely untethered?
i hadn’t seen the seat, just the clipped-in feet.
