ePropulsion Electric Outboard Motors
EMO Electric is a Long Island, New York-based authorized ePropulsion dealer serving sailors and boaters across the Northeast and beyond. We carry the full ePropulsion portable electric outboard lineup — from the ultralight eLite to the high-output Navy 6.0 Evo — covering a power range of 500 W to 6,000 W (approximately 1.5 HP to 9.9 HP equivalent).
ePropulsion electric outboard motors are direct-drive, brushless DC motors built with all-metal motor housings, designed for quiet operation (under 60 dB at full throttle), minimal maintenance, and long-term reliability in both saltwater and freshwater environments. All Spirit and Navy Evo series motors are compatible with ePropulsion's 48V E-Series lithium iron phosphate batteries (E60: 3,072 Wh; E163: 8,345 Wh) and supported by a standard 2-year warranty. The ePropulsion Spirit and Navy electric outboard engines can also be used with third-party 48V batteries. Every ePropulsion motor is serviceable at any authorized ePropulsion dealer.
Which ePropulsion Motor Is Right for You?
ePropulsion's outboard lineup spans six models across four series — the Spirit series for lightweight, battery-integrated applications, the Navy Evo series for higher-power, external-battery setups, and the eLite for those who want one of the lightest, most portable electric outboard engines on the market.
ePropulsion's entry-level ultralight motor at just 14.7 lbs (shaft only) with a built-in 378 Wh battery. Designed for canoes, kayaks, small dinghies, and inflatables where weight is the primary constraint. Adjustable shaft length (short: 11.1"–15.8", long: 17"–21.7"). Cable-free battery connection. Top speed approximately 4.0–4.7 mph. Four to five hour charge time.
The latest generation of the Spirit lineup, launched in late 2025. The Spirit 2 electric outboard doubles the continuous power output of its predecessor while maintaining a similar total weight. It features a 1,539 Wh Spirit Battery Ultra with a cable-free slide-on connection, a full-color display, built-in hydrogeneration (recharges at up to 380 W at 10 knots), a 45 W USB-C charging port, and a 3 kW Sport/Boost Mode for short bursts of additional thrust capable of planing lightweight dinghies. The extendable, foldable tiller has four locking positions. Compatible with ePropulsion's 48V E-Series external batteries for extended range as well as third-party 48V batteries. Available in extra short (XS), short (S), and long (L) shaft lengths for the tiller version and short and long shaft in the remote version. Deliveries expected beginning spring/summer 2026.
The proven Spirit 1.0 platform. Rated at 1,000 W input power with a 1,276 Wh integrated battery. Weighs 42.6 lbs complete (short shaft). Supports third-party battery compatibility including the ePropulsion E60 (3,072 Wh) and E163 (8,345 Wh) for extended range. Standard 8.5-hour charge time; fast charger available (3.5 hours). Available in XS (20.7"), S (24.6"), and L (29.5") shaft lengths. Best for sailors and dinghy sailors who want a capable, field-proven electric outboard.
Identical power and battery specs to the Spirit 1.0 Plus, with key additions: hydrogeneration, wireless remote steering, fine 1%-resolution state-of-charge display, 85° max tilt angle, and tool-free tiller/remote swap. Best for sailors who want the most complete feature set in a portable 1 kW motor.
The Navy 3.0 Evo is ePropulsion's mid-range external-battery outboard, rated at 3,000 W. Motor weight is approximately 53.6 lbs (short shaft), with battery purchased separately. Runs on 48V; recommended with an E60 (3,072 Wh), E163 (8,345 Wh) battery, or third-party 48V batteries. Features hydrogeneration, direct-drive technology, and a wide range of control options including Evo Tiller, top mount remote, side mount remote, and dual remote. Compatible with standard Teleflex steering systems. Available in short and long shaft.
The most powerful motor in ePropulsion's 48V lineup, rated at 6,000 W. Motor weight approximately 64 lbs (short shaft), with battery sold separately. Runs on 48V; recommended with one E163 battery or two E60 batteries in parallel. At full power with one E163, expect approximately 1 hour 20 minutes of run time and roughly 22 miles of range. Features hydrogeneration, liquid-cooled motor, direct-drive technology, and all Navy Evo control options including dual remote for twin-motor installations. Short shaft: 25.3"; long shaft: 30.1".
