The Strider is an sustainable, electrically supported concept for an alternative pedal boat that fits into the circular economy. In contrast to boats that have been made from crude oil-based materials for years, it is made from renewable European materials such as flax fibre and cork. The design was inspired by the light-footed water strider, which creates the appearance of weightlessness. The boat construction is defined by modularity, because the four floats can be quickly released by a twist lock, which ensure easy repair and results in the life cycle of the product being extended.
