Shouldn't they be wearing life jackets?

Brags about how light weight it is, but I don't see any place for oarlocks. BasicAlly relying on a battery and trolling motor.

That looks as well thought out as the infamous Frog Boat. When you get close to shore and want to get off what do you do? The electric is sitting below the tube so you can't get into shallow water, your paddling spins you and doesn't get you to shore, jumping in? doesn't make sense and I can't see how you would step off onto the wharf. Just my first impression but it looks like a boat version of the unicycle.
