8 Best Motorized Paddle Boards in 2023

Originally designed to be used by scuba divers, the Scubajet Pro has an adaptor set specifically designed for small water crafts such as paddle boards and kayaks to help propel them through the water.

As an electric paddle board accessory it might seem over the top–and we were a little skeptical–but it’s surprisingly useful and incredibly fun.

One of the most versatile jet systems on the market the Scubajet Pro Motorized Attachment can be used on its own or as an added motor to heighten your water experience. It is compatible with kayaks, paddle boards and can come as a handheld model which you can use whilst snorkeling or scuba diving. With 3 models, each more powerful than the last, the Scubajet can last up to 4 hours.

One of the unique features of the Scubajet Motorized Attachment is that it is completely emission-free and eco-friendly. Along with its stackable battery system which allows for a longer run time, the Scubajet can motorize any paddle board. Wireless remotes power and control the Scubajet and can be worn around the wrist, for easy control. The Scubajet is great for water sports fanatics, with a wide range of attachments at controls, it can be used as an adventure accessory on kayaks, whilst freediving, snorkeling, scuba diving, and on stand-up paddle boards.

The Bixpy J-2 motor is a conversion kit that can be attached to kayaks, inflatable boats as well as paddle boards. With a Bixpy jet attached into the central fin box, and the battery powering it firmly attached under the aft bungee cords, it’s possible to cruise at 5-6 mph depending on wind and currents.

One notable feature that the Bixpy motor set has is the ability to go in reverse. On a paddle board, this has the noticeable effect of also turning the SUP slightly toward the left. When you know this, it results in better maneuvering in tight places like narrow rivers or canals.

The overall experience with the Bixpy jet on a paddle board is positive. The battery lasts a whole day essentially, and the jet motor itself is pretty lightweight, making it not too difficult to launch. Plugging in the battery after the SUP is in the water is also pretty safe and secure. Overall, a well-thought-out design that translates into a good paddle assist system.
