The ePropulsion eLite is a compact electric outboard motor with an integrated battery. The motor delivers a continuous 500 watts and a temporary maximum of 750 watts in sport mode. Due to its low weight and adjustable shaft, the eLite is particularly suitable for small inflatable boats, tenders, fishing boats, canoes, and similar light vessels.
Supplied complete
- ePropulsion eLite electric outboard motor
- Integrated 378 Wh lithium-ion battery
- 220V battery charger
- Clamp bracket with quick-release
- Kill switch lanyard
- Propeller and trim pin
- Carry bag for transport and storage
The motor and battery form one compact unit. An optional 12V charger and solar charger enable charging on the go.
Power and application
The eLite is often compared to a small fuel-powered motor of approximately 2 hp. However, power in kW and hp is not directly comparable. The motor is suitable for bringing boats of up to approx. 700 kg to cruising speed. The attainable speed depends on the type of boat, weight, hull shape, load, and sailing conditions.
In a field test with a Marinaut 620 Tender and 500 watts, approximately 4 km/h was measured. This is a practical value for that specific boat and not a general speed guarantee. For larger or heavier boats, the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus is a more powerful alternative.
Performance and range
| Power | Speed | Run time | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 W | approx. 6.0 km/h | approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes | approx. 9.0 km |
| 500 W | approx. 7.5 km/h | approx. 45 minutes | approx. 5.6 km |
| 750 W sport mode | approx. 8.3 km/h | max. 1 minute at a time | not specified |
These factory values were measured with one person in a 2.4-meter aluminum boat with a total weight of 117 kg, on calm water. The actual speed, run time, and range will vary based on the boat, load, wind, waves, temperature, and sailing style. Sport mode depends on battery charge and temperature.
