ePropulsion's Spirit is an extremely nimble 1kW (3hp) electric outboard motor suitable for dinghies, fishing boats, sailboats and tenders. Thanks to a total weight of just 20kg (inc battery) and a folding tiller, the electric outboard motor is extremely lightweight and portable, making transportation easy. When on the water, the integrated 1276Wh lithium battery offers a maximum range of 22 miles.

World first - hydrogeneration:

A world first, Spirit Evo Electric Outboard features hydrogeneration. This enables the electric motor to charge its own battery when wind is being used to propel the boat. Water spins the propeller, which in turn spins the motor, putting electricity back into the battery - so you can get even more range out of one charge.

Performance:

ePropulsion's Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard engine has a 1kW BLDC has a 1kW BLDC motor, equivalent to a 3hp petrol powered engine.

The performance data above is based on a 12ft aluminium boat with one person and one Spirit Plus battery in calm lake water.
