Water Tricycle

Pedal Power on Calm Water

The Water Tricycle YTCN-5WB-03 is a pedal-driven craft for lakes, ponds and resort waterways. It measures 3.2 by 2.0 by 2.1 metres, a compact footprint on the water and an easy one to move around a jetty. Riders sit above the waterline, pedal at their own pace and steer where they like.

The appeal is simple: no engine noise, no fuel, no skipper. Families take one out, drift past the far bank and come back when they are ready.

The LLDPE Hull from Korea

The body is moulded from LLDPE imported from Korea, chosen for outdoor water service because it resists impact, shrugs off sunlight and does not absorb water. Under normal use it is expected to serve for around 30 years.

Rotomoulded plastic of this type also takes colour well, so fleet livery can match a resort identity, and a customized logo can be applied at order stage.

Launch and Landing Arrangements

Most sites run these craft from a shallow bank or a low pontoon. Two staff can walk one into the water by hand, so no slipway crane is needed.

Plan the handing-over point carefully. Separate lanes for launching and returning keep craft from crossing each other at the busiest moment, and a roped area at the bank keeps them tidy overnight.

Rider Guidance for Families

An adult and a child on the same tricycle is the usual pairing. Most venues issue life jackets as standard, and the staff briefing takes two minutes: how the pedals work, how the rudder turns, and where the rental area ends.

Calm water is the point. Wind and current separate a pleasant half hour from a struggle, so mark a sensible zone and keep watch from the bank.

Storage Between Seasons

Off-season care is straightforward. Rinse the hull, let it dry, and store it out of direct sun. The pedal mechanism wants a look before the season restarts, and the seating should be checked for cracks.

The plastic does not need painting or sealing. That is the practical benefit of imported LLDPE: it ages slowly and keeps its colour. Venues running several water activities often add pedal boats for family groups and a barbecue boat for onboard dining, covering quiet mornings and sociable evenings with the same jetty.

Fleet Numbers and Turnover

Start with two or three units if the water is new to your site. That covers a weekend rush without leaving craft idle midweek, and it shows how long an average rental runs.

Once you know the pattern, add units in small batches. Each order starts at one set and arrives with installation photographs and videos so your own crew can prepare the craft.
