Detailed description

Designed for propulsion of dinghies, tenders, sailboats and small fishing boats up to 1,000 kg, the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor delivers 1 kW of power, equivalent to a 3 HP gasoline outboard. This long-shaft version (75 cm / 29.5 in) is supplied with a removable 1,276 Wh (28 Ah) Spirit Battery Plus.

Performance and Range

The Spirit 1.0 Plus delivers a static thrust of 316 N (32 kg) and achieves a maximum efficiency of 55%. Its brushless DC motor and natural cooling system ensure quiet operation (max 60 dB) and zero emissions. In the manufacturer test, the removable battery on the 48 V system provided approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes of runtime at full power (10 km/h), with a range of about 12.5 km. At 25% power (250 W), the range can reach 35 km at 7 km/h. The battery is removable, waterproof (IP67) and buoyant, with a lifespan of 500 cycles at 80% discharge.

Design and Features

Weighing 10.8 kg without the battery and 19.6 kg with its 8.7 kg battery, this unit remains easy to handle. The integrated tiller control system features a digital display for real-time monitoring of power, remaining range and battery level. Electric start is achieved with a single button, complemented by a magnetic kill cord for safety. The progressive throttle ensures smooth operation in forward and reverse, and can be used from either side. Trim angles are manually adjustable (0°, 7°, 14°, 21°), with a tilt angle of 70°.

Charging and Compatibility

The battery charges in 8.5 hours with a standard charger or 3.5 hours with a fast charger. To extend range, the Spirit 1.0 Plus is compatible with ePropulsion external batteries in the E series and can be charged via solar charging accessories. Maintenance is limited to rinsing with fresh water after use in saltwater and cleaning electrical contacts.

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.

Expert opinion

« ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus: silence, range and versatility for your dinghy »

The ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor with its 75 cm long shaft is a versatile and reliable propulsion solution for dinghies, small sailboats, and fishing boats up to 1 tonne. Its design eliminates combustion-engine oil changes, but still requires the checks and maintenance specified in the manual, providing peace of mind for users. The 1 kW power output, equivalent to 3 hp thermal, is particularly suited to precise manoeuvres and calm-water cruising.

ePropulsion recommends the long shaft for transoms over 50 cm high; actual height, propeller immersion and cavitation risk still need to be checked on the specific boat or kayak. The manual tilt adjustment over 4 angles and the 70° lift mode facilitate adaptation to varying sailing conditions and shallow-water passages.

A major advantage of this model is its removable lithium-ion battery. Not only is it waterproof (IP67), but its ability to float if dropped in the water provides undeniable safety and practical benefits. The tiller handle integrates a digital display providing essential real-time information, and the electric start greatly simplifies use. The ability to limit maximum power is a useful safety feature for less experienced users or specific applications such as rental. For extended cruising, the system allows the addition of external ePropulsion batteries from the E series, significantly increasing range.

This motor is ideal for those seeking quiet, eco-friendly propulsion without the maintenance constraints of a thermal engine. However, for heavier vessels or higher speed requirements over long distances, it may be advisable to consider higher-power electric propulsion options or configurations with extended battery capacity.

What is the power output of the Spirit 1.0 Plus outboard motor?

The ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus electric outboard motor has an input power of 1 kW. It is equivalent to a 3 HP thermal engine.

What is the shaft length for this Spirit 1.0 Plus model?

This specific Spirit 1.0 Plus model is equipped with a long shaft measuring 75 cm (or 29.5 inches).

What is the total weight of the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor with its battery?

The Spirit 1.0 Plus motor (long shaft version) weighs 10.8 kg without the battery. The Spirit Battery Plus battery weighs 8.7 kg. The total weight of the motor with the battery is therefore approximately 19.5 kg.

What is the capacity of the battery supplied with the motor?

The Spirit 1.0 Plus motor is supplied with a Spirit Battery Plus lithium-ion polymer battery with a capacity of 1276 Wh (28 Ah) and a nominal voltage of 48 V.

What range can be expected at full power with this motor?

The ePropulsion test at 1,000 W on a 12-foot aluminium boat with one operator in calm water reports about 1 hour 15 minutes, 10 km/h and 12.5 km. This is not guaranteed for a kayak: hull, load, weather, power setting and battery state change actual results.

What is the maximum range of the engine at reduced speed?

The ePropulsion test at 250 W on a 12-foot aluminium boat with one operator in calm water reports 5 hours, about 7.1 km/h and 35.5 km. This is test data, not guaranteed range; kayak, load, weather and current affect the result.

Is the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor quiet in operation?

Yes, the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor is designed for quiet operation. Its maximum noise level is 60 dB.

Is the Spirit Battery Plus battery watertight and buoyant?

The Spirit Battery Plus is rated IP67 and buoyant according to ePropulsion. This does not mean the outboard may remain submerged. If it falls into the water, stop it, disconnect the battery and have the motor inspected before reuse, as the manual requires.

What are the trim and tilt angles available on the Spirit 1.0 Plus?

The Spirit 1.0 Plus motor allows manual adjustment of trim angles at 0°, 7°, 14° and 21°. The tilt angle (out-of-water inclination) is also manual and can reach 70°.

What type of propeller is fitted on the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor?

The motor is fitted with a 2-blade composite propeller with an 11-inch diameter and 5.8-inch pitch (11" × 5.8").

What is the maximum static thrust of the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor?

How to charge the Spirit 1.0 Plus battery?

The Spirit Battery Plus battery can be recharged with the standard charger in 8.5 hours. An optional fast charger reduces the charging time to 3.5 hours.

What are the recommended operating and storage temperatures for the motor and battery?

For engine and battery operation: -10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F). For engine storage: -30°C to 70°C (-22°F to 158°F). For battery storage: The recommended ambient temperature is 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), with a charge level of approximately 60%.

How to install the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor on a boat?

Installing the motor involves securing it to the transom. It is possible to adjust the trim angle manually (0°, 7°, 14°, 21°) and tilt it up to 70° out of the water. It is important to ensure the mounting height is appropriate to avoid propeller ventilation or excessive water resistance.

With which types of boats is the Spirit 1.0 Plus motor compatible?

The Spirit 1.0 Plus motor is designed for propulsion of dinghies, tenders, sailboats and small fishing boats weighing up to 1,000 kg.

Is the Spirit 1.0 Plus battery specific, or can I use another external battery?

The Spirit Battery Plus is specifically designed for the Spirit 1.0 Plus. While it is possible to connect an external 48V battery, the Spirit Battery Plus is optimized for this motor and includes a battery management system (BMS) for safety and performance.

Which chargers are compatible with the Spirit Battery Plus?

The Spirit Battery Plus must be charged exclusively with an original ePropulsion charger. Using a non-original charger may void the warranty and compromise safety.

Which actions may lead to a warranty claim being denied for the motor or battery?

ePropulsion may refuse a warranty claim if the operation is incorrect or contradicts the instructions in the user manual. This includes attempting to disassemble, repair, or modify the product, as well as purchasing from unauthorized dealers or sellers.
