Its a modular system that is in produktion in California and will soon be upscaled
and they can deliver in spring 2017.
There are mounting sets in the make that also fits Hobie kayaks.
See the link on top. And see http://WWW.bixpy.com.
Hope to hear more.

That is a local company here in Southern California. We have been watching the development for a few years. They have been working with our dealer in San Diego.

We need to see it make it to the market and then see what limitations there may be in battery and or power / performance, durability etc. Looks cool though. I would love the hand grip version for underwater cruising!

Looks cool to me too Matt. I do prefer to stay upon the water an I`am a great Fan of Torqeedo produkts, but the Grip
version is their biggest advantage.
I made a Torqueedo mount direct to the Rudder of my Revolution 11 and it works good for me. So for me there is no need in buying Bixpy produkts. Intrest in new developments , that`s what it is. :)
