The next (r)evolution of the Moken series arrived, now sporting the Rapid Pedal Drive and Beavertail Rudder systems. We’ve taken one of our best sellers, the Moken 10 v2, and implemented our own, state of the art pedal package to deliver you a responsive, stable and surprisingly roomy 10-foot pedal-driven kayak.
United StatesI am very disappointed with my self for being swayed by the slick videos and cheap price The pedal drive is very hard to pedal I’m a previous owner of a Native Slayer propel and would still have it but after 7 years the rudder system failed and I tried to fix it, only to cause more damage to make it unreparable. So I was going to buy another one until I saw the ads for the Moken 10 pdl for nearly half the price of the latest Native model. Big mistake, now I have two kayaks that I either can’t or don’t want to take out on the water. I tried to sell the Moken to some friends , but they wouldn’t even take it for free. Didn’t want to waste storage space on it. Now my choice is to not go kayak fishing or pay another $2600 for a Native. Total cost would then be $4000 to replace my other kayak. Ouch, I don’t think that I can afford that at this time. Hope this helps.
United StatesIt's hard to beat the sheer value you're getting out of the Moken 10pdl. Stable, maneuverable, light with a high capacity. I'm 6'1 235 and the boat handles me with no problems. Drive seems well made and smooth. My only complaint is the seating position is a little low for the pedals. Feels like your legs are right up in your chest. If anyone at feelfree is reading over these a set of 3 inch seat risers would be a game changer. Overall very pleased, especially with insanity price wise coming from Hobie and Old Town.
United States1st of all I'm an AVID angler (to put it mildly) and this is not my 1st Kayak, but it is my 1st pedal drive. I was looking for a smaller budget pedal drive and the Moken 10pdl fit the bill perfectly. When they say this kayak is CAPABLE, that is an understatement!! 1st trip out, I was driving thru small white caps in 20+ mph winds, drifting broadside with the wind trolling jerkbaits and casually coasting thru shallow back creeks And not once did I feel like I was about to flip! Now, I am a smaller guy (5'10" 150lbs) and very experienced on the water. With a few modifications and upgrades, this is definitely a bada$$ little fishing rig!
United StatesOnly out once so far for seat adjustments and add on positions. Already glad I canceled Vibe Makena order for a 10’ Pedal.
United StatesUsed it once to see how it was on the water. I've owned a lure 11.5 in the past so I was very surprised it was just as stable as the lure 11.5 being a little shorter boat. I did have a few problems with getting the pdl drive to latch seemed very tuff even after adjusting the latch on the kayak but I'm sure it will get easier after figuring out the kayak on more trips.
