ePropulsion Spirit 2 3kW Electric Outboard Motor

ePropulsion Spirit 2.0 – Silent, Powerful, and Safe Electric Boating

The ePropulsion Spirit 2.0 is the latest generation of electric outboards, combining power, safety, and ease of use. With a continuous output of 2 kW and a 1-minute peak power of 3 kW, this motor is a full-fledged alternative to a traditional internal combustion engine, but quieter, cleaner, and low-maintenance.
This motor is the successor to the (the also available Spirit 1 Evo with 1kW power and 1.3 kW battery capacity).

Advanced Display and Enhanced Safety

The Spirit 2.0 is equipped with an integrated color display that instantly shows accurate information on battery status, power, and remaining runtime. The display can be easily switched between day mode (light background) and night mode (dark background), making it comfortable to read in all conditions.

For added safety, the motor features a magnetic kill switch. Uniquely, this magnetic chip can be deactivated via the menu, allowing the motor to continue functioning even if the chip accidentally goes overboard.

Powerful and Quiet Electric Motor

Thanks to the high-quality brushless DC motor, the Spirit 2.0 achieves an overall efficiency of approximately 50%. The motor is also exceptionally quiet, with a noise level of below 60 dB, making it significantly quieter than conventional gasoline outboards.

The speed is infinitely adjustable, allowing you to always select precisely the desired power.

Flexible Control and Accessories

The Spirit 2.0 features an extendable tiller that can be folded into multiple positions. This ensures optimal maneuverability and comfort on board. Additionally, a wide range of optional accessories and charging systems is available, so the motor can be fully customized to your needs.

Battery and Range in Practice

The interchangeable 1.54 kWh lithium-ion battery offers a very generous range in practice. With normal use, a runtime of approximately 6 hours is achievable, depending on boat weight, load, and cruising speed.

Some practical examples:

• Full power (2 kW continuous): approx. 40 minutes runtime

• With 3 kW boost: approx. 30 minutes

• Half power (1 kW): more than 1.5 hours of cruising at approx. 8.5 km/h (± 13 km range)

• Low power (250 W): up to 6 hours of cruising at approx. 6 km/h (± 36 km range)

• Very low power (100 W): more than 15 hours of cruising at approx. 4 km/h, ideal for fishermen

For longer trips, the battery can be easily swapped, and a spare battery is optionally available.

Charging and Hydrogeneration

The battery can be fully charged within 7 hours via mains power (also via a generator) with the included charger. Additionally, charging via a 12V onboard system or solar panels is possible.
Unique is the possibility of hydrogeneration while sailing. Between 3 and 16 knots, the motor generates energy:

• approx. 380 W at 10 knots

• up to 1.5 kW at 16 knots

Especially during multi-day trips, this is a valuable addition to the range.

Choice of Three Shaft Lengths

The ePropulsion Spirit 2.0 is available in three variants:

• Extra short shaft (30–40 cm transom height) – suitable for kayaks, canoes, and boats with a flat transom

• Short shaft (40–50 cm) – ideal for dinghies and tender sloops with a well.

• Long shaft (>50 cm) – perfect for sailboats and outboard sloops.

Warranty and Reliability

The Spirit 2.0 comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. ePropulsion offers the option to extend this to 3 years after online registration. We can take care of this for you if desired.
