ePropulsion launches ‘game-changing’ electric outboard

The eLite has nominal power of 500W and 750W in boost mode.

Created for the smaller boating market, the direct drive motor and propeller operate in near silence, the company says.

It also has a new compact and lightweight design that weighs just 6.7kg and is just 297 x 75 x 890mm in size.

ePropulsion says the eLite has an easy-grip twist grab handle, controlling forward, reverse and power output.

It also has a full digital control and display with information on the battery and power output as well as system status and alerts.

“We are excited to start the year by introducing the eLite electric outboard motor, a game-changer in marine propulsion,” said co-founder and CEO Danny Tao. “We believe the eLite will redefine the eco boating experience for enthusiasts worldwide.”

The company says the motor is an entry-level product in ePropulsion’s electric outboard portfolio, and sells for just over €1000.
