The Open Waterbike Manifesto
The Open Waterbike Project is a collective effort for designing, building and bringing to market the best
- high-performance,
- safe and
- user-friendly
long-distance pedal-powered watercrafts in the world.
Our mission is:
- Fastest boat in the world:
We will create the fastest long-distance boat in the world.
Believe it or not, we are pretty close. Our starting points are already among the fastest long-distance racing pedal boats in the world. - Our new boat is your new boat:
We will create a standard open architecture for long-distance boats that will allow anyone to get the boat attained to his or her specific needs. - A sustainable business:
We will share the value we create collectively in accordance with our community system of incentives and with our business model.
This is just a start-up manifesto. We will set up together a collaborative environment to discuss it. Please contribute. Contact us.
The Open Waterbike Project supports the ideals of the International Human Powered Vehicle Association: «promoting improvement, innovation and creativity in the use of human power, especially in the design and development of human-powered vehicles».
Our boat is faster than mine.
