Next summer these mini electric kart boats will likely be doing donuts next to your boat in your secluded anchorage. You tube is full of them, I guess they have the potential to be a little like electric scooters which will be used unlicensed and unregistered?

Do wonder if they would make an interesting tender to the mooring?

for $326 they'd be absolute rubbish, electric so at least they're quiet.
No less need for registration than any other outboard powered vessel and probably come under the PWC rules for licensing.

I don't reckon they're the inflatable jetski you think they will be...

Ohh Goody - NOT cheap and inflatable too. As if jetskis aren't bad enough.

I'm not buying one, it was sent to me as suggestion for a group buy for the lower Murray River.

Some of these Chinese things work well before they pack up in short time. From the videos I think it could be like that, essentially putting out $350 for a morning of fun before it goes into waste.
