jet ski

Motorized water scooter

A jet ski is a small watercraft ridden like a motorcycle, propelled by a jet of water rather than a propeller.

The rider typically sits or stands astride the craft and steers with handlebars.

Jet Ski is a Kawasaki trademark that has become generic for all personal watercraft: We rented jet skis at the lake.
