Schiller S1-C Water Bike
Description
The Schiller S1-C is the world's most advanced water bike, engineered to transform oceans, lakes, rivers, and bays into rideable terrain using nothing but your own pedal power. Built on a TIG-welded T6 aluminum frame with dual high-pressure, drop-stitched pontoons, the S1-C delivers a genuinely stable and intuitive riding experience from the very first outing. If you can ride a bicycle, you can ride the S1-C - most riders are comfortably cruising within minutes, with no prior watersport experience required. Propulsion comes from a patented raisable outdrive system paired with the renowned Gates Carbon Drive drivetrain, pushing speeds over 10 mph on the water.
Designed with real-world ownership in mind, the S1-C assembles in under 10 minutes without any specialized tools and fits inside most hatchbacks and SUVs - no trailer needed. Whether you're a waterfront homeowner, an endurance athlete looking for low-impact cross-training, or a resort operator seeking a premium guest experience, the S1-C opens up new terrain that no other human-powered watercraft can match.
Key Features
- Gates Carbon Drive System: Premium belt-driven drivetrain delivers smooth, efficient, and low-maintenance propulsion on the water.
- Patented Raisable Outdrive Propulsion: Unique propulsion system lets you raise the drive out of the water for easy launching and beaching.
- TIG-Welded T6 Aluminum Frame: Lightweight yet exceptionally strong frame construction built to handle saltwater and freshwater environments.
- Reinforced Drop-Stitch Pontoons: High-pressure, dual-pontoon platform provides stable, confidence-inspiring support for riders of all skill levels.
- Top Speed Over 10 mph: Outpaces kayaks, paddleboards, and pedal boats with efficient cycling-style propulsion.
- Supports Riders Up to 300 lbs (136 kg): Wide weight capacity makes the S1-C accessible for the vast majority of riders.
- Assembles in Under 10 Minutes: No tools required - quick setup and breakdown for spontaneous rides or travel.
- Fits Inside Most SUVs and Hatchbacks: Compact, modular design eliminates the need for a trailer or roof rack.
- Saltwater and Freshwater Compatible: Engineered to perform in oceans, lakes, rivers, and bays without corrosion concerns.
- Bike Weight 87 lbs (40 kg): Manageable weight including pontoons for transport and launching from a beach, dock, or marina ramp.
- Stained Bamboo Running Boards Included: Premium natural running boards add comfort and style to the riding platform.
Frame Size Options & Which to Choose
- Medium Frame (riders 5'2" to 5'11", inseam 26" to 34"): Best suited for riders 5'7" and under. Riders between 5'7" and 5'11" can ride the medium but will enjoy better leg extension on the large frame. Ideal if the bike will be shared among riders of varying - especially shorter - heights.
- Large Frame (riders 5'9" to 6'6", inseam 30" to 37"): Recommended for riders 5'9" and taller for optimal pedaling comfort and efficiency. Shorter riders (under 5'7") generally cannot ride the large frame unless their inseam is 30" or greater.

FAQ
Do I need prior watersport experience to ride the S1-C?
No prior watersport experience is required. If you can ride a bicycle, you can ride the Schiller S1-C. The twin-pontoon platform provides extremely stable support, and most riders are comfortably cruising within minutes of their first launch.
Is balancing required to ride the S1-C?
No. The dual high-volume pontoon design creates a very stable riding platform. Unlike a stand-up paddleboard or a narrow kayak, the S1-C supports you from both sides so there is no balancing act involved.
Can the S1-C be used in saltwater?
Yes. The S1-C is engineered for both saltwater and freshwater environments. The TIG-welded T6 aluminum frame and reinforced pontoons are designed to handle the corrosive nature of ocean and coastal use.
How fast does the S1-C go?
Riders can reach speeds over 10 mph depending on conditions such as wind, current, and rider fitness. The Gates Carbon Drive system and patented outdrive propulsion make it significantly faster than kayaks, paddleboards, and traditional pedal boats.
Do I need a trailer to transport the S1-C?
No. The S1-C's modular design allows it to fit inside most hatchbacks and SUVs without a trailer or roof rack. Assembly and disassembly take under 10 minutes, making transport and storage straightforward.
Where can the S1-C be launched from?
The S1-C can be launched from a beach, shoreline, dock, marina ramp, or even a yacht. The patented raisable outdrive system makes it easy to lower into the water once you're ready to ride.
Is the optional Front Deck worth adding?
The S1-C Front Deck is an optional add-on that expands the platform in front of the rider, which is great for carrying a passenger, additional gear, or simply for resorts and rental operators who want a more versatile experience. It adds $450 to the price and is available in Grey or White to match your color combination.
