Up to 55% max overall efficiency

3 HP

Perfect for all sorts of light duty

9 KM/H

Max speed to drive a 12 ft boat with 150 kg load

The Spirit 1.0 easily matches a 3-hp petrol outboard can, and provides more than sufficient propulsion for a 10 ft tender, or can work as an auxiliary power for a daysailer of up to 1.5 tonnes.

Incredibly Versatile

The impressive performance makes Spirit 1.0 an outboard motor of great versatility. It’s suitable for all types of environments.

Incredible Efficiency

Spirit has an incredible efficiency up to 55%. Its 1 kW motor could deliver the propulsive power equivalent to a 3 HP petrol engine.

Effortless battery replacement

The Spirit 1.0 pushes the limit of range with its high energy efficiency, propeller design, and battery capacity. It includes one large 1018 Wh battery, the largest for a motor of this size.

Push the Limit

Normally without an external fuel tank, a portable outboard in the range of 2.5 HP to 5 HP, has a run time of less than 45 min. Spirit 1.0 pushes the running time limit of a 3 HP outboard and has an overwhelming superiority with 30% more runtime.

**The performance data is based on a 12-foot aluminum boat with one Spirit 1.0 Plus. The actual speed, range and running time may vary because of different boats, load, weather, etc.

Solar Panel Compatible

The Spirit battery is compatible with solar panels. You could potentially charge it during a whole sunny day with the power at economical speed.

Effortless Battery Replacement

We highly recommend that you travel with a spare battery. It’s quick and fast to replace in the middle of your trip.

Advanced BMS

Safety comes first: includes six protection features

1018 Wh

A great capacity of 22 Li-Po cells

Floatable

Don’t worry any overboard accidents

Thoughtful Details

22 Li-Po battery cells and an advanced BMS, battery management system, are placed inside. The layout is heat dissipation oriented to ensure full power running for an entire hour. Multiple shakeproof design is applied.

User-friendly battery handle

Carry the battery with a handle. The ergonomic design means you can easily carry the battery with little effort.

Considerate mounting slots

A mounting slot on both sides of battery helps you quickly align and fix the battery in position.

Independent charging port

Charging and discharging can happen simultaneously, which means a solar panel can be connected to provide constant power during a boat trip on a sunny day.

Protective vent

A high-quality vent effectively balancing the air pressure inside the battery housing maintains healthy working environment that is beneficial for the battery service life.

Lifting buckle

Designed to facilitate placing in or lifting up the battery. It helps quickly swap a spare battery on board.

Flame-retardant battery housing

Besides protection from the advanced BMS built inside the battery, the housing material that meets the highest plastics flammability grade V-0 offers double security.

Floating Design

Why not travel with a spare battery to extend your range? Spirit battery can float, so you’re worry free from a permanent battery loss when you make a battery replacement in the middle of your ride.

The Spirit battery satisfies the IP67 protection standard and operates in any conditions. It’s lightweight and compact, but contains plenty of energy. Weighing in at just 8.8kg, it can also float! 

Reliability

Robust Design Built to Last 

Maintenance-Free

Save time at work and spend more time on the water

2,000 hrs in testing

The most rigorous testing of continuous operation ensures a robust design

Direct Drive

The amount of moving parts is reduced tremendously, including gear box

The Spirit 1.0 is the first ever truly maintenance-free electric outboard motor. You’ll never need to worry about repairing or maintaining it. The quality of craftsmanship is so reliable you can relax and enjoy your time on the water! 

Perfect, even after 2,000 hours of testing

On Dec 13th, 2016 we ran a continuous operation test on the Spirit 1.0 of 2,000 hrs (two and half months). It passed with flying colours, and could have run many thousands of hours more. On a traditional petrol outboard, maintenance has to be undertaken every 50-100 hours. 

Quite

Quietly Brilliant

FOC

Field-oriented control (FOC) smoothes the motor operating with less vibration 

55 dB

Max operating noise equals the db level of a normal conversation

Comfortable Tiller

There’s no  uncomfortable vibrations when holding the tiller

A petrol outboard engine could never compete with an electric outboard motor, and, not surprisingly, Spirit has a better noise control level than another electric outboard brands. You can have a conversation and easily be heard.

Pleasant Travel

You won’t even notice the noise of the motor, so relax and immerse yourself on the experience of the water. There’ll be no more loud speaking over a noisy petrol outboard!

Portable

Surprisingly Easy to Carry

The Spirit 1.0 is designed for portability. It’s compact, lightweight and easily stored in our customized storage bags. The installing and uninstalling are hassle-free.

Made for Pleasant Journey

We have carry bags for the motor and the battery. The transportation and storage can’t be easier.

Foldable Tiller

A foldable tiller allows you a quicker pack-up. It’s easy to carry: one hand for the motor and the other hand for the battery.

Cleaness

Harmless to Health and Environment

No Fuel Leak

Leakage is quite common with a petrol outboard - not with the Spirit 1,0.

Exhaust-Free

You won’t breathe in any engine exhaust fumes

ePropulsion is committed to providing a green boating drive system, helping to alleviate the environmental problems we face today.

Keep Your Hands and Clothes Clean

Annoyed by the usual oil stain on your shirts or hands? Spirit 1.0 leaves no oil stain at all.

Avoid Exhaust Inhalation

There is no combustion, so there is no way that you will inhale any toxic exhaust fumes that you get from a gasoline.
