Wolong ePod 1.5 electric pod motor 1.5 kW including remote control

At Marinaut it comes complete with remote control.

The Wolong 1.5 POD and the ePropulsion Pod Drive 1.0 Evo are both popular electric pod motors for smaller boats and sailing yachts. Although they fall into the same category, there are distinct differences in power, design, and technology.

Below are the key product advantages of the Wolong Pod 1.5 over the ePropulsion Pod 1.0 :

1. Higher power and thrust

The most immediate benefit is the extra power. While the ePropulsion 1.0 has an output of 1 kW (equivalent to 3 hp), the Wolong 1.5 offers 1.5 kW (equivalent to 4 hp).

• Speed: With 50% more wattage, the Wolong makes it easier to reach your boat's hull speed, even in headwinds or currents.

• Traction: The Wolong is more powerful when maneuvering and accelerating.

2. Advanced Motor Technology (PMSM & FOC)

The Wolong 1.5 uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) in combination with Field-Oriented Control (FOC) .

• Efficiency: This technology ensures very smooth control and high torque, even at low speeds.

  • Responsiveness: The engine responds very directly to throttle input, which is useful in tight harbours.

    Benefits of FOC (Field-Oriented Control)

    FOC, also called vector control, is the "brain" of the engine, providing extremely precise control. Its main advantages are:

    • Superior Performance: FOC ensures highly efficient motor operation, resulting in a greater range with the same battery capacity.

    • Smooth sailing experience: The engine runs vibration-free and quietly across the entire speed range. You won't experience any jerking when accelerating or braking.

    • Maximum Torque at Standstill: A unique advantage is that the engine can deliver its full torque immediately from a standstill. This is essential for safe maneuvering in port.

    • Fast Response Time: The engine responds immediately to throttle control, ensuring dynamic and safe boat control.

    • Compact and Economical: High efficiency allows the motor to be built smaller and lighter without sacrificing power, while keeping power consumption lower.
      

3. Higher speed

The Wolong 1.5 runs at a nominal speed of 1,800 RPM , while the ePropulsion 1.0 operates at around 1,200 RPM . This higher RPM often makes the Wolong more suitable for lighter, faster boats or situations where a smaller propeller with a higher rotational speed is more efficient.

4. Compact and lightweight construction

While both motors are lightweight, the Wolong motor unit itself (without cables/accessories) often weighs slightly less or is more compact in relation to the power output. The Wolong weighs approximately 8 kg (including housing), which is very light for a 4 hp equivalent.

-------

• Space saving
• Silent and vibration-free
• Maintenance-free
• Easy to install
• Comparable to a 3 hp (propulsion power) to 5 hp (thrust) combustion engine.
• The pod motor is suitable for boats up to 1,350 kilograms (2,800 lbs) up to cruising speed and boats up to 450 kilograms (990 lbs) at hull speed . Is your (sailing)boat heavier? Then consider the Pod Drive 3.0 from ePropulsion or Pod Drive 6.0, or install two pods.
• With 2 pods and the Dual Remote Control you can also steer by propelling the pods at different speeds or in opposite directions.
• The pod motor is mounted underneath the boat. It can only go forward or backward, so you steer with your rudder.
  
  
• As a steerable pod motor, for example by mounting in the rudder blade.
• ePropulsion pod drives are direct-drive, maintenance-free electric motors for sailboats and small craft. They are space-saving and maximize your cabin space.
• Surprisingly quiet : You hear no noise on board.
• Optimal performance The pod system ensures optimal sailing characteristics, which is based on thorough development to achieve minimal water resistance.
• Maintenance: Brushless direct-drive DC electric motor, so low-maintenance. Spend much less time on maintenance or winterizing. Replace the rust-resistant anode only when necessary, and only after 200 hours, and grease some components. Spend less time on your motor and more time enjoying the water.
  
• Battery : for example ePropulsion E80 battery 4kWh
