It's just a planning when I'm free,wondering if I could build it, if you guys like the idea, you can try it!

The motor set is cheap and the power is also the same as the basic e bike 350 w
The e bike I'd build in the e bike thread

Looking good :thumb:

The only thing missing is a fishing rod holder and a place to securely put your tackle box.

I've been looking at mini pontoon personal inflatable float (with the metal frame) with a small trawling motor to putt-putt around the lake or river. No place to put the bike, but I did see someone last year floating down the river with 2 Pack Rafts one for him one for his bicycle.

I do not know how small the metal frame float tube compacts to. But there is the smaller non-metal frame, all inflatable tube but those are limited to 325lbs for a few but 250lbs normally.

You can put the stern section into the main hull part, may be the long tube separated to short ones
Without the bike, the whole boat weights estimated 50kg more or less
The floating capacity estimated 500kg, 1 person + complete Boat + my e trike + - - - < 200 kg

As for camping or staying outside at night, you need a mosquito repeller
