has anyone found any tips for applying the front piece? it is very tricky

Just inherited one of these from a family member. Glad there are videos explaining how to assemble the Klepper kayak as I’d be lost without these videos.

Why is the image quality so terrible?

A friend of mine has a Klepper two seater in her basement...this video gives me the courage to even try to see if all the parts are still together. I see the paddles and will look for them. They used it pretty often and were meticulous with care so I am sure it will be OK!

Perhaps one of the most important part of video where you fold back trap and attach tension cord is missing....

So Klepper isn't really a "foldable". It's more like a "build-in-place". Less like a pop-up tent, and more like M*A*S*H.

rather listen to my 2 cycle gas motor than those musicians

145 dollars make mine for free and usually catch double what others next to me catch

Why always testing on those inflatable boat and not a regular 14-16 ft aluminum? I like electric motor but if you can't get to 10mph with that price you are wasting money and time.

Bad ass i do a heist run through woods hit river bank put it together n im in nother county in under 8 minutes....... sweet.....hittn the Mississippi like tom sawyer

Has anyone had experience climbing in a Klepper Aerius II if you are in the water. I want to use it for snorkeling so need to be able to get in and out easily.

Yikes, $150. that is insane for different reasons. Starting with recommending such a thing.

these are nice but they are way out of line with the price

I bought one for $20 at a yard sale I guess it's the best $20 I spent

I have one of these from 2008 and it still performs very well, not much degradation of the battery if any and I didn't even take very good care of it.

where can i buy that stuff ?

Wye not add a manual switch for the bilge pump a few leftover inches is normal and expected for most boat stop trying to invent useless trash and invest your money in a manual switch

Conception and Design is far away from logic... Please hire a designer for your future motor as it looks not user friendly at all to mount them.

Walmart has a trap for about 6 bucks , use it about10 times an toss

Aaron--thanks! I have a really old double like yours--since my husband is no longer around to put it together, I have been worried about not knowing how. I'm heading to a lagoon in Bolinas, Ca. in a few weeks! This will help! I too went to school with a Klepper--Karen in Tennessee. She was related to the boat family!

i do the same thing. i live near a ake and i pack my inflatable kayak in a backpack and ride down to the lake to paddle. i recommend looking at sevylors inflatable kayaks.

It looks calming

nice kayak.

if you want a battery powered motor buy a trolling motor alot cheaper and simple,but real men buy gas powered outboards,my 50hp yamaha 2-stroke would sink that boat lol

Seems like a waste of money for $150!!! That type of folding construction is notorious for being extremely difficult to return to its storage shape. This horrible idea has been used on many things like tents and sun visors and everyone I have seen has been awkward and imperfect. I suspect you had many of the same troubles since the video only cuts at the point you are trying to fold it back up.

@pirogue29 i love minn kota but torqeeto is faster

Checked these things out. Very efficient and capable of moving a lot of weight. Nice quality piece of work, just dont produce the speed you need to get up on the plane in a small boat. If they offered a faster prop like they do on the bigger versions they would be great. Until then a good petrol outboard and minn kota are going to give you the best of both worlds for the same money. The ability to hook up a solar charger is pretty sweet though.

nevermind LOL

@StormChaserChris BUT IM A COUNTRY KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is there a mini moter for like inflatable boats cuz im a kid?????

I would not trust that battery to a pin. I would rather keep the battery in the boat and have the motor plugged into the battery with wire

I wonder how much one of these weighs , I ride a bike and am looking at these because I need something I could pack on the back if at all possible

look how fast hes going ... : p slow down there bud your going to hurt someone

You need a clip on skeg fin to make it steer and track. Like RC model boats use turn fins for.

I think electric is the wave of the future. It doesn't create a greasy mess like gas powered, easy to maintain, and the motor has full torque at any speed. Batteries are getting close to same energy level per weight to gas, and recharge with solar, it's free energy.

@pirogue29 yea I got a 40# 12V Minn-Kota $230CDN and a 103ahr battery $130CDN that moves a 4 seater paddle boat as good as that. That's a lot beer in price difference.

@jonfoster100 just a single though. and it doesn't have to be a klepper but not one of the real cheap folding ones or i'll get killed kayaking in the sea LOL

I live in Norway and am looking for one of these due to the extreme shipping costs of a glass or molded kayak. does anyone have one of these they'd like to sell? i don't have a lot of money but if you have one you aren't using and could help me out i can pay a reasonable amount for it. Thank you.

@mariner10rpr yep!!!!!!!

great video...thanks

nice demo vid but at 150 bones i think i 'll keep using my box pots which gets my limits fairly easy!

You really remind me to the time when i had in 1967 an Aerius II. I learnt my occupation with Klepper Werke, Filiale Stuttgart in Germany from 1961 - 1965. Since 2008 im living in The Philippines and all I want is an Klepper Aerius II and a Klepper Master. Thanks for your wonderful video.

is it worth 149 dollars?

Hey guys, if you like this trap, you will love the Collapse-A-Trap... It catches live bait fish and fits in your tacklebox. Check out the video on You Tube. It's about $20 and my 5 year old even uses it!

a 24/36 volt 80+ thrust trolling motor would be better and cheaper in my book.

seems to be a waste of money. To expensive and not very impressive.

Gasoline engines kick ass

per manufacturer Torqeedo is much like a 5HP Outboard, thats a lie, i have a Nissan 5HP outboard and Torqeedo power is way wayyy less. Torqeedo is just a trolling motor on steroids, not to mention its $2000+ price tag (depending on the option) , from my test fully charged battery gave me 3 1/2 hours of power and it becomes noisy when you hit 75% throttle , but if you like innovation and its 30lbs weight then this is for you.

Great review, thanks very much... I am using the Mercury 3.5hp FourStroke but it has no reverse gear and the exhaust is not through the prop (makes it quite loud) so i was going to go with the 6hp Merc but this electric motor makes so much more sense... it is just for a little 8 foot tender going from moorage to shore and back and a little bit of exploring in the shallows. I think I will buy mine from westmarine Canada ($i699) unless someone has a better idea. Thanks again for your time.

i have a modern kayak but my dad has a two seater blue klepper and its great, takes us around 5 minutes to set up.
