Clean Power. Quiet Performance. Zero Compromise.
The ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus is a 1kW (3HP equivalent) electric outboard engineered for dinghies, tenders, fishing boats, and small sailboats. This innovative motor delivers sustainable, whisper-quiet power without the noise, fumes, or maintenance headaches of traditional gas outboards.
Why ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus?
Whisper-Quiet Operation
Electric propulsion means no engine roar, no exhaust fumes, no disturbing the peace. Approach fishing spots silently, cruise harbors without noise complaints, and enjoy conversations on the water without shouting over an engine.
Zero Emissions, Maximum Efficiency
Clean electric power eliminates fuel costs, oil changes, and carburetor maintenance. Just charge and go. Better for the environment, easier on your wallet, and far more reliable than gas alternatives.
Lightweight & Portable
At just 42.6 lbs, the Spirit 1.0 Plus is easy to mount, remove, and transport. Perfect for boats that need quick setup and minimal weight. Compact design fits tight transoms and small storage spaces.
Smart Design, Minimal Maintenance
Sealed motor housing, corrosion-resistant materials, and intelligent battery management mean less time wrenching and more time on the water. No spark plugs, no fuel filters, no winterization hassles.
