Paddle, pedal, power. The Old Town Sportsman BigWater ePDL+ 132 & LIthium Ion Battery Charger features a power-assisted pedal drive that delivers the ultimate versatility on the water. Old Town's patented ePDL+ system lets us switch easily from manual pedaling to power-assisted pedaling to fully motorized cruise control, so we can enjoy three modes of hands-free propulsion that keeps our focus on fish, not our paddle or our boat. The added electric power can boost our speed to catch up with our fishing buddies, help us power through wind and heavy current, or set cruise control, so we can rest our legs, re-rig our rods, enjoy some pedal-free trolling, or simply save some energy to extend our fishing time. Much like an eBike for the water, the BigWater ePDL+ gives us a power boost to take on bigger bodies of water, stronger river currents, and tidal conditions.
The boat itself is a versatile 13-footer with enough stability for aggressive hook sets and stand-up fishing, and it features an adjustable seat with high and low positions for us to adjust our pedaling and fishing positions. Bow and center hatches let us stow some gear away from the water while a large stern tank well adds plenty of space for storage crates and coolers. The BigWater ePDL+ 132 includes accessory tracks and drillable plates to mount our accessories as well as rod racks, cup holders, and a Lithium Ion Battery to power up for epic days on the water.

Great yak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for cruising all day, the battery hardly drained after an 8 hour trip.

Fun kayak and great fishing platform
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 132 with pedal drive and found it to be fast and very stable. I've been on rough water both on lakes and the ocean. I like the pedal drive as it's fast yet more than that it allows you to go forward and then back away as you hook a fish. When the E-PDL version became available I knew that this would shrink the size of those larger lakes. i can relax by using the pedal assist or sometimes just sit back and use cruise mode and let the motor do all the work, I even bought a additional 36 volt battery yet have never needed it as I have never actually ran the battery down.

Great kayak with excellent peddle assist!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome kayak! The epdl system helps me get where I want to go faster with a lot less stress on my legs. I just switched from a Hobie PA14. That kayak is Heavy, and terrible to paddle. With this I can actually paddle it comfortably, peddle it with near instant reverse, peddle assist using the battery, or use full cruise control. I’ve owned several kayaks and this is the best one by far. My only wish is if the setting for 4 with the peddle assist were a little faster. Setting 5 is great!🙂

This Kayak is a BEAST!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first season running the ePDL+ 132 - Such a cool combination of peddle power and electric power. This thing is a fish catching machine!

Winning combination
I received my EPdl last year after hearing about its features from several people. The combination of stability, speed and now the addition of electric assist pedaling has made this kayak a true winner. I easily handles all the equipment need for a fishing outing, camping trip or just a day out on the water. The electric assist pedal drive adds huge gains in range from the ramp or launch point.

ePDL, great fishing platform
After using the ePDL for the 2024 season I completely fell in love with this platform. I like having a reliable kayak that can get to t those far away fishing places without exerting the energy and also having the ability to pedal. This platform is stable enough to stand and fish or paddle while searching for those fish in the shallows. I have been tournament bass fishing from a kayak for nine years and owned many different kayaks…this is my favorite!

Go farther, travel faster
I often fish in tidal saltwater rivers with very heavy current. I am able to fish places i have never fished in a kayak before and I can reset my drift faster, especially as the current picks up. I have also never killed the battery that comes with it in a single trip.

Old Town Bigwater Epdl review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kayak changed my life. I’m an avid kayaker that fishes over 200 days a year in a kayak. I’ve always enjoyed the exercise I get on my kayak as well as being able to sit back and enjoy the scenery. This kayaking is plug and play. This is literally the best kayak ever produced on earth. I also just won the Florida Bass Nation kayak tournament trail on the St.John’s River January 4th 2025 on this kayak. I fished 8 hours straight and went on long runs only using up 20% of the battery life.

Such a cool kayak!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get my hands on this kayak when it first came out. A kayak with e-bike technology was obviously going to be something different but I just didn’t realize how much of a game changer it is. Being on the water a lot and being able to save your legs enables you to fish longer. What I loved the most about this kayak is how fast it is. It truly feels like a sports car on the water!
