The History of Electric Paddle Boats
Depending on how you would define the predecessor to what we currently know as the paddle boat, the history of electric paddle boats can begin in the late 19th or the late 20th century.
If you consider that any recreational small craft was a predecessor to the eventual creation of the paddle boat, the history of electric paddle boats can go all the way back to the last two decades of the 19th century. It was around this time that the first great round of experimentation with electric vehicle innovation took place. Before the world knew about gas or the internal combustion engine, people tried to make vehicles that could run on electricity.
For rich thrill seekers, there were even individual small craft available that could comfortable seat 2-5 people. These were not well known and most of them were notoriously unreliable. The best of them were only trusted on small segments of shallow rivers so that in the case of breakdowns or capsizing the inhabitants could easily swim to shore.
The first actual electric paddle boat by today’s standards would likely have been created in the 1970s or 1980s however. The 1970s was a time of innovation due to the necessity brought on by the oil shocks in that decade, but the 1980s saw people experimenting with electric vehicles that had not been tried in the previous decade.
The first real affordable electric paddle boats were created in this decade however and even then there is still work to be done on bringing the prices down.
