Kayaking is an increasingly popular activity, but not everyone has the money, storage space, or transport capacity needed for a boat. Because it is a machine, it is the turn of Kayako mat.
Created by kayak manufacturer Point 65 Sweden, the system has actually been in use in its home country since 2006.
Kayakomat itself takes the form of an open-ended kiosk adjacent to the water’s edge in a lake, river, or ocean-facing location. Stacked on shelves within it are a number of individually locked Point 65 kayaks, each with his PFD (life vest), spray his skirt, paddle and other accessories. There are also several Point 65 RumRunner Stand-Up Paddle Boards available for those who prefer to stand rather than sit.
Kayakomat
Users first go to the Kayakomat website and book a kayak (or SUP) at the kiosk of their choice. At this point, you will pay the rental fee, review usage and safety instructions, and receive a one-time unlock code. Once you arrive at the kiosk, use that code to open the battery-powered electronic padlock on your kayak of choice. From there, they just take out the boat and row it.
Rental rates start at €29 (approximately US$31) for the first two hours and decrease by the hour thereafter.That teeth You can rent kayaks for weeks at a time, or rent multiple kayaks for multiple users in one reservation.
Each kiosk has a designated human owner/operator. That representative is expected to be available to users on the phone, but he only needs to check the unit once a week. The kiosk is unmanned, so it can be used early in the morning, in the evening, and on holidays.
Kayakomat
Point 65 Sweden is currently accepting inquiries from anyone interested in running their own kiosk. The company can be accessed through his website at Kayakomat.
