Detailed description
Detailed description
The ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus 1 kW electric outboard motor is designed to power dinghies, fishing boats, sailboats and tenders up to 1 tonne. This 1 kW motor delivers power equivalent to 3 HP thermal and includes a floating lithium-ion battery of 1276 Wh (28 Ah) for extended range.
Performance and range
The Spirit 1.0 Plus delivers a static thrust of 316 N. Its two-blade composite propeller with an 11-inch diameter and 5.8-inch pitch ensures maximum efficiency of 55 % at a nominal rotation speed of 1200 rpm. In the manufacturer test at 35 W and 3.5 km/h on a 12-foot aluminium boat with one operator in calm water, the removable 1,276 Wh battery reached 80 miles (approximately 129 km). At full power (1,000 W), the test yielded 12.5 km and 1 hour 15 minutes. These results are not guaranteed range or runtime. The charging time is 8.5 hours with a standard charger and 3.5 hours with a fast charger. The motor is compatible with solar charging up to 180W and can be connected to external ePropulsion batteries in the E-Series.
Design and features
This model is equipped with a short shaft of 62.5 cm (24.6 inches), suitable for transoms between 40 and 50 cm. The motor alone weighs 10.6 kg, and the complete unit with battery weighs 19.4 kg. The integrated tiller control system allows ambidextrous handling with progressive acceleration. Manual trim angles are 0°, 7°, 14°, 21°, with a tilt angle of 70°. An integrated digital display provides real-time information on power, remaining range, battery level and voltage. For safety, it features a magnetic cut-off switch and push-button electric start. The Spirit 1.0 Plus is designed to operate quietly and requires minimal maintenance, with compatibility for fresh, salt and brackish water. Its tiller is foldable for easy transport and storage.
Range and installation: the quoted speeds, runtimes and ranges come from ePropulsion tests on a 12-foot aluminium boat with one operator in calm water. Results vary with vessel, load, weather and power setting; no runtime is guaranteed. The Spirit Battery Plus is removable. Use its specified charger and connectors, or a separately validated 48 V external installation. After motor submersion, stop using it and have it inspected before reuse.
