Find the right pedalo for your leisure activity here. In Switzerland, pedalos are pedal boats that are rented out on lakes. You use your muscle power to convert the energy required for locomotion via pedals. The term "water bike" is therefore also sometimes used. In most cases, a pedalo is propelled by two people. Movement is made possible by transferring the energy via a crankshaft to a paddle wheel. Pedalos are now made of very robust materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastic or aluminum. Another safety feature is the special shape of the boat hull, which limits the boat to walking speed.
