What are water bikes called?
A hydrocycle is a bicycle-like watercraft. The concept was known in the 1870s as a water velocipede and the name was in use by the late 1890s. Water velocipede, c.

When standing on the ground, it resembles a stationary bike used in gyms. It’s not as heavy as a water scooter, and cruises on water assisted by a pedal and a 400 W e-bike motor. A motionless hydrofoil bike can submerge a few feet without sinking so it can be restarted without a rider swimming to shore.A hydrocycle is a bicycle-like watercraft.

How fast can a pedal bike go?
With medium effort a cyclist can pedal 8–10 km/h up a gentle incline. Riding on grass, sand, mud, or snow will also slow a rider down. Without pedaling downhill a bicycle rider can easily reach speeds of 20–40 km/h down a gentle 5% slope and speeds exceeding 50 km/h on steeper inclines. On mostly flat terrain, a cyclist rides at an average speed of 24 km/h according to Strava. However, the range varies from 15 to 40 km/h between a beginner and an experienced cyclist, as well as with the physical condition and weight of road bikes. These figures are for ideal conditions.
