How fast does the pa go with a normal constant pace of peddling the mirage drive?

Depends upon your personal cadence and what you find comfortable, but I have no trouble keeping mine at 2 to 3 MPH for a long, long time. Can go much faster in spurts, of course.

I agree with Tom. I was out last night after work doing a little fishing. Just casually peddling I'm usually at 2-3 mph. The perfect trolling speed for me is about 1-1.5 mph and that's done with slow alternating peddles. Last night I wanted to see what type of sustained speed I could make heading in and managed to hold it at 5 mph for quite a ways. But to do that it took a good workout on the pedals.

There was very little if any breeze and my lake was pretty smooth at the time. My wife's Revo 11 is a lot quicker the few times I've taken it out. But it's a lot narrower. I need to try it with the turbo fins off the PA. I'm sure it will fly then!

The picture below will give you an idea of the lake conditions.

In my PA-14, I find that my pedaling speed pretty much matches walking speed at a given rate of foot movement. In other words, it just about matches how I'd move at a given left-right pace while walking.

Pet Peeve Alert: "Peddling" means selling door to door. Mirage drives don't have peddles and we don't peddle our Hobies.

LOL...sorry my friend. I should have typed "pedaling".

I bet if I could sell Hobies door to door I would make killing!!!
