The MelloShip is an absolute blast -- drive a hammock across a lake or bring a friend and sit in two hammocks suspended side-by-side.
The silent electric motor moves you along at a jogging speed. The motor is controlled by a hand-held, waterproof remote control. The battery for the motor is charged by a solar panel, which charges battery, even while you are using it. It is environmentally friendly and creates no noise, no water pollution, since the battery can be charged directly by sun.
It can be customized for use as a yoga platform in the middle of the lake or for a picnic with two pop-up seats.
You can even pre-set a route (using a specific motor) which lets you record a route (specific path) across a lake (up to two miles). Then, you just hit go, no need to touch anything and you are off on a two mile cruise on the lake. Because who wants to deal with the hassles of steering when there is serious day dreaming to be achieved? The MelloShip is a whole new way to enjoy the water.
