Are drives still breaking?


That was resolved a few years ago. It was primarily inconsistent materials and hardness. We addressed some quality control issues with our supplier and made a change to the cranks wall thickness to add significant strength. Not a problem anymore.

Two truths, Matt:

Rumor will always outlive fact.

Some people can break an anvil.

The rock solid arms are solid aluminum and very robust.......contact "fungunnin" from the Hobie members list. You can email him for details.
