Features We Love
Light Weight. The ePropulsion eLite itself only weighs 14.7 pounds, and it's transom bracket is another 2.7 pounds.
Portability. Not only is the eLite one of the lightest electric outboards on the market, but it's also one of the most portable. Simply click the button on the eLite transom bracket to remove the motor. The tiller folds down, making it easy to carry.
Quiet. The ePropulsion eLite is a direct drive electric outboard, meaning the electric motor is right in front of the propeller. Since the already quiet motor is underwater when the eLite is in use, it's virtually silent to the operator.
No Winterization. Like most electric outboards, there is not winterization required for the ePropulsion eLite.
Minimal Maintenance. Other than a fresh water rinse after use in salt water, keeping the electrical contacts clean, and being mindful of the eLite battery's state of charge, there is no regular maintenance.
Adjustable Tilt. The eLite has multiple tilt and trim angles: all the way down, shallow water mode (36 degrees) and all the way up (75 degrees). Surprisingly, not all electric outboards have a shallow water tilt position.
Adjustable Tiller. The eLite tiller can extend and locks in at multiple angles.
USB-C Output. You can use the USB-C port on the ePropulsion eLite to charge your phone, iPad or other USB accessories.
