What is a Mini Ski?

Mini Skis are a small ride-on personal watercraft.  We are all about getting kids out on the water and having a fun time. Electric motors mean these are extremely safe for kids to ride,  but they are still in control and can experience the thrill of riding a PWC for themselves.  They are light-weight and super buoyant.

How is the Mini Ski safer?

It’s safer for the environment due to the use of recyclable materials. It’s safer for the operator and surrounding public due to it’s limited speed which gives more time to react and reduces force of impact. It’s also made out of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), which is lightweight, recyclable and durable.

Operating the Mini Ski

Operating the Mini Ski is very straightforward. First, the Mini Ski needs to be switched on with the key-switch using the key. There is a throttle on the right handle of the handlebars which you twist to power the motor which drives the propeller giving the Mini Ski forward thrust. To steer the Mini Ski you simply turn the handlebars in whichever direction you wish to go and to stop you simply release the throttle, which will stop powering the motor. You may also turn the handlebars at a 90-degree angle if you wish to brake faster. For further detailed instructions on operating the Mini Ski please refer to our Operator’s Manual.
