:( I’m new to the forum and just got on the waiting list. Now I find out from this forum that I’ll have to wait another half year. I might croak of old age before Hobie can make my iTrek 9. I would substitute a Lynx but it just won’t fit into my Jeep.
I’ll just wait. And wait.
My reason for the small iTrek is that I have acquired arthritis in my shoulders, am easily fatigued, but can still pedal. The lightweight 20 lb iTrek looks perfect for me. Actually the only one thing that can work well for me. I’m 81 and hope when it arrives the dealer doesn’t call my estate and tell my grandchildren they can pick ulp my boat.
Looks like the 9' iTrek alone is back on track for possible delivery this year, while the other sizes are labeled 2022. No announcement, but they have updated the iTrek marketing pages to imply that. I posted nearby a very detailed iTrek9 video they released recently. They did post apologies for 2021 releases remaining uncertain:
