Pedalo

A pedalo is a human-powered watercraft propelled by the turning of a paddle wheel.

The wheel is turned by people operating the pedals of the craft.

Pedalos, being particularly suited to calm waters, are often hired out for use on ponds and small lakes in urban parks, as well as in beaches when the weather allows.

The earliest record of a pedalo is perhaps Leonardo da Vinci's diagram of a craft driven by two pedals.

[1][2] Typically, a two-seat pedalo has two sets of pedals side-by-side, designed to be used together.
