Amarew electric outboard motors (whisper motors) are generally very well-rated by users, particularly for their value for money . They are often seen as an excellent alternative to more expensive brands like Torqeedo or Minn Kota, especially for recreational use and fishing.
Below is a summary of the key review points:
Pros (often mentioned in reviews)
-
Value for money: The engines are significantly cheaper than premium brands, while delivering comparable performance for the average user.
-
Build Quality: Many users praise the sturdiness. The AM series often has a strong aluminum bracket and the XM series has a stainless steel axle, which gives the motors a solid feel.
-
Ease of use: The motors are lightweight, making them popular for small inflatable boats, canoes, or as a children's motor. Installation is simple using standard battery clamps.
-
Silence: As the name 'whisper motor' suggests, users experience the motor as very quiet, which is ideal for fishing or quiet recreation.
-
Maintenance-free (XM series): The brushless motors (XM series) are praised for their efficiency and the fact that they last longer without wear on carbon brushes.
Cons & Points of Attention
-
Throttle/Gears: With cheaper models (such as the AM58 or AM66), some users find the shift between gears 4 and 5 is very sharp. The engine then suddenly accelerates much faster, which can be inconvenient for precise maneuvering.
-
Plastic parts: While the base is sturdy, some reviews indicate that small details (such as buttons or cover plates) are made of cheaper plastic and may look fragile.
-
Current: The lighter 12V models are best suited for still or slow-moving water. For larger windy lakes or rivers with currents, experts often recommend the 24V or more powerful XM models.

Conclusion: Looking for a motor for a day on the lake or for quietly fishing with a small boat? Amarew comes out on top in reviews as one of the best budget options. For heavy boats or cruising in open water with strong currents, it's worth investing in the more powerful XM models.

- Highly efficient, energy-saving motor. Moreover, brushless technology is 30-60% more efficient than any brushed motor and 100-200% more efficient than a proven motor.
- Super quiet: AMAREW® XM series produces less than 55 decibels and creates absolutely no noise pollution. For comparison, gasoline engines produce more than 65 dB.
- Lightweight: AMAREW® XM series (at the same power output) are 20% lighter than any brushed outboard motor.
- The AMAREW® XM series comes with a unique AMAREW® XM brushless technology. In
comparison: Most other electric motors generate rotational force by means of sliding carbon brushes, which wear out quickly and easily. These motors also consume much more energy and generate significantly more heat and emissions. However, the AMAREW® XM series uses a specialized brushless electric motor that generates power from magnetic fields alone. This makes the AMAREW® XM series the most reliable and stable choice, as well as being lighter and more efficient. - Large Adjustable Handle: The adjustability and maneuverability of the handle allow for maximum comfort and performance.
- Robust mounting system: The AMAREW® XM series is designed with durability in mind. The mounting system we have introduced is particularly strong.
- Stall Protection: When the propeller stalls, the motor goes into stall protection mode: the output power is reduced to 6 Ampere to protect the motor.
- Low Voltage Protection: When the displayed voltage is lower than 20 Volts the motor will go into low voltage protection mode: output power
is reduced to 50% to protect the battery. - Overheating protection: If the propeller becomes entangled in items or materials that are not cuttable, the motor may overheat. When the motor temperature reaches 110°C, the motor enters temperature protection mode: output power is reduced by 50% to protect the motor.
- Start protection: protect your engine and your safety when starting.
- Infinitely Variable Speed Variation: The high-quality design allows the motor to seamlessly transition from incredibly low speed to maximum speed.
- Including remote control (for steering wheel)
- Comparable to a 5 hp (propulsion power) to 7 hp (thrust) combustion engine.
- Suitable for bringing boats with a total weight of 2,450 kilograms up to cruising speed (and boats with a weight of 800 kilograms up to hull speed).
- Assuming a consumption of 0.8 kWh and 5 hours of sailing, using a 4 kWh battery at 7 kilometers per hour, the range will be 35 kilometers. Sufficient for most water sports enthusiasts.
- Test report with a 0.8 kW motor and 1.3 kWh battery with 1 person in the 445 sloop : you reach up to 6 kilometers per hour.
-
Test report with 1.5 kW motor and 4 kWh battery with 2 persons in the 445 sloop : you reach up to 7 to 8 kilometers per hour.
With 700 Watts you can sail at 6 kilometers per hour, have a range of 34 kilometers and a minimum sailing time of 5.5 hours.
With 400 Watts you can sail at 5 kilometers per hour, have a range of 40 kilometers and a minimum sailing time of 8 hours.
With 200 Watts you can sail 3 kilometers per hour. - 0.7 kW version: Suitable for bringing boats with a total weight of 600 kilograms to cruising speed (and boats with a weight of 200 kilograms at hull speed). Comparable to a 1 hp (propulsion power) to 2 hp (thrust) combustion engine.
- Assume a consumption of 220 watts per hour (Wh) and 4.5 hours of sailing at the 1 kWh battery. At 6 kilometers per hour, the range is 27 kilometers. Sufficient for most water sports enthusiasts. Power 660 watts. With the The E420 electric sloop (4 metres) can be sailed by 4 people up to a speed of 6 kilometres per hour.
- Motor length is adjustable for both short and long tail
- Brushless motor for a long lifespan
- Overheating protection
- Stepless operation, so without switching gears
- With voltage display, you can see the remaining battery range.
-
Subsidy : Electric boat motors and lithium batteries are eligible for the Environmental Investment Deduction and the Arbitrary Depreciation of Environmental Investments for commercially used vessels. With the MIA/Vamil, the tax benefit can amount to over 14% of the investment amount.
- Rene's experience with a 430 sloop with the 2 kW version: "Sailing on the lake with some wind, you can notice that this engine is clearly more powerful than the 0.7 kW, so I think this one will suit you better."
-
This electric motor is one of the best in its segment. It offers excellent value for money and is suitable for all types of water.
