Momentum M10 vs. Torqeedo Cruise 10.0 TS: Battle of the 10kW Electric Outboards

Image
The 10kW electric outboard segment represents a critical power class for boaters who need genuine performance without sacrificing portability. Two compelling options dominate this space: the Momentum M10 and the Torqeedo Cruise 10.0 TS. Both deliver 20 horsepower equivalent power, but they take distinctly different approaches to achieving it. Understanding these differences is essential for making the right choice for your vessel. Power Output and Performance Both motors deliver 10kW continuous output with a comparable 20 HP equivalent thrust. The Torqeedo Cruise 10.0 TS features a 12kW peak output, providing extra power when needed for acceleration or challenging conditions. The Momentum M10 has proven its capability in real-world testing, achieving speeds up to 18.6 mph at full power on a Highfield 310 Classic and maintaining planing speeds of 13.7 mph with extended runtime. Performance metrics matter beyond raw horsepower. The M10 demonstrated 40 minutes of runtime at maximum power,...

Stories from the Water: Real Boaters Share Their Electric Adventures

Image
  The shift from petrol engines to quiet, clean electric outboards isn’t just a trend; it’s a revolution happening one boating story at a time. Across marinas, lakes, and open waters, everyday boaters are discovering how electric propulsion enhances their adventures, simplifies maintenance, and deepens their connection with the water. Today, we share real stories from boaters who switched to electric motors like the  Spirit 1.0 Plus ,   ePropulsion Spirit Evo ,  and the sleek, award-winning  Remigo .  Their experiences highlight how electric outboards are redefining boating for good. 1. The Silent Escape John's Journey with the Spirit 1.0 Plus For John, a weekend sailor from Goa, switching to the  Spirit 1.0 Plus   meant rediscovering peace on the water. He recalls his first ride: “I pushed the throttle and thought the motor wasn’t on  and then the boat moved. That silence… nothing compares.” With zero vibrations and effortless handling, John...

How Efficient Are Electric Outboard Motors Compared to Gas?

Image
In recent years, the boating community has seen a major shift toward clean, sustainable propulsion, and at the forefront of this transformation are electric outboard motors . As more boaters consider upgrading from traditional gas engines, a common question arises: How efficient are electric outboard motors compared to gas? The answer lies in understanding energy conversion, performance, and real-world usability. Let’s explore why electric systems, such as the Momentum M10 and Remigo electric outboard , are redefining what efficient boating truly means. 1. Energy Efficiency: Electric vs. Gas Gas engines lose a significant portion of their energy through heat and mechanical friction, typically operating at 25–30% efficiency . In contrast, electric outboard motors convert 85–90% of electrical energy into thrust. This means more of the power you draw from your battery actually moves your boat forward. Models like the Momentum M10 and EPropulsion outboard motors exemplify this efficie...

Why the Momentum M10 Is the Ideal Upgrade for Boaters Seeking More Power Without Noise

Image
  For boating enthusiasts, finding the perfect balance between power and peace on the water has always been a challenge. Traditional gas-powered motors deliver speed but at the cost of noise, fumes, and maintenance. That’s where electric outboards are changing the game — and the  Momentum M10  stands out as one of the best upgrades for boaters ready to experience silent, high-performance cruising. Unmatched Power and Smooth Performance The  Momentum M10  offers a 10kW (20 HP equivalent) output, giving boaters the strength to get on plane with ease while maintaining the smooth, quiet operation electric motors are known for. It’s powerful enough for larger boats, yet efficient enough for smaller vessels looking to upgrade from mid-range options like the  Momentum U2  — making it the perfect next step for those who need more thrust without sacrificing efficiency or comfort. Silence That Lets You Connect With Nature One of the biggest advantages of electri...

The Latest Innovations in Electric Outboard Motor Technology

Higher Power for Demanding Boaters While compact motors suit smaller vessels, more advanced options ...

ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo: Quiet, Clean, Powerful Marine Propulsion

Image
In the shift toward greener boating, electric outboards are increasingly proving their worth. Among the standout options is the ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo —a 6 kW (approx. 9.9 HP equivalent) electric outboard motor designed for dinghies, sailboats, tenders, and other light marine craft. EMO Electric now offers this advanced motor on its platform, bringing cutting-edge electric propulsion to boating enthusiasts and professionals alike. In this blog, we’ll explore what sets the Navy 6.0 Evo apart, its features, performance, suitability, and some things to watch out for. Why the Navy 6.0 Evo Matters 1. Power & Efficiency in a Clean Package The Navy 6.0 Evo delivers 6 kW input power, roughly comparable to a 9.9 HP petrol outboard—without emissions or noise.  Thanks to direct drive (i.e. fewer mechanical parts), the system is quieter, simpler, and low maintenance.  ePropulsion’s hydrogeneration tech allows the propeller (when pushed by water flow, e.g. under sail) to...

10 Things First-Time Buyers Should Know About Electric Outboards

If the Titanic Lifeboats Had the Temo 1000: A Hypothetical Rescue Scenario

Image
  On April 15, 1912, the world watched in horror as the Titanic sank into the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Over 1,500 lives were lost, and while lifeboats saved many, their ability to move quickly and efficiently was severely limited. Most lifeboats relied solely on oars, slow, exhausting, and impractical in a night of chaos. Now, imagine if those lifeboats had access to modern technology like the   Temo 1000 . How different could history have been? The Problem: Lifeboats Without Power Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, but most left the sinking ship only partially filled. Survivors reported that rowing through the freezing water was incredibly difficult. Some lifeboats didn’t return to rescue people in the water because they feared they couldn’t maneuver back or escape in time. Without propulsion, lifeboats drifted helplessly, leaving survivors at the mercy of the sea until the Carpathia arrived hours later.
