At EMO Electric, we're not just about selling electric outboards—we’re boaters ourselves. So when we got our hands on the TEMO 1000, we did what any real marine enthusiast would do: we took it straight to the water for a true field test.
Whether you’re cruising out to your mooring, chasing the sunset, or just poking around the harbor, a motor like this needs to prove itself. Spoiler alert: the TEMO 1000 passed with flying colors.
Lightweight, Easy, and Quick to Set Up
First off, this thing is light. At just around 15kg (battery included), it’s easy to carry and mount solo, no strained backs or extra help needed. The adjustable shaft and retractable tiller make it flexible for different transoms, and setup took us less than five minutes.
Quiet on the Water
The most noticeable difference? The silence. The TEMO 1000 glides without the growl of a gas engine, letting you actually hear the water lapping against your hull. Perfect if you enjoy a peaceful ride, or if you're heading out for some stealthy fishing or wildlife spotting.
Surprisingly Powerful
With 1.1kW of power equivalent to a 3 hp outboard, it packs more punch than you'd expect. We cruised easily through light chop and a bit of current. Speeds were solid for what it’s built for: tenders, dinghies, and small sailboats up to 8 meters. Run time clocked in at a comfortable 1 hour and 40 minutes, giving us plenty of range for harbor runs and shoreline exploring.
Practical Features That Just Work
The 360° rotating mount and tilting head were a game-changer when docking and maneuvering. The removable battery also means you can pop it off and charge it inside no dragging cords down the dock. It’s one of those details that makes boating life simpler.
Our Verdict
The TEMO 1000 doesn’t just keep up it sets a new standard for portable electric outboards. It's quiet, clean, and efficient. Whether you're switching to electric for environmental reasons or just want hassle-free boating, this motor deserves a serious look.
