EMO Electric

Pair the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Evo with a 120Ah Solid State Marine battery and you get roughly six hours of full-throttle runtime, compared to about one hour and fifteen minutes on the standard Spirit Battery Plus. That's nearly five times the capacity in a battery that's still light enough to carry down a dock. But more capacity isn't automatically the right choice for every boat — and that's what this test actually reveals. Why This Matters Runtime anxiety is the number one reason boaters hesitate on electric outboards. You've heard the stories — someone drifting back to the ramp on a dead battery, or cutting a fishing trip short because the gauge dropped faster than expected. A recent test from EMO Electric put real numbers behind that fear, running the Spirit 1.0 Evo against a third-party Solid State Marine battery to see what happens when you throw significantly more capacity at the problem. If you're comparing electric outboards to gas, or trying to figu...

If you're moving a dinghy, daysailer, or lighter cruising sailboat, the Navy 3.0 Evo's 3kW (6HP equivalent) is usually enough. If you're powering a heavier boat, a RIB, a river boat, or a sailing yacht up to around 5 tons, the Navy 6.0 Evo's 6kW (9.9HP equivalent) is the one that won't leave you underpowered on a windy afternoon. The real decision comes down to boat weight, not how much power sounds impressive on paper. Why This Matters Picking between the epropulsion Navy 6.0 and the Navy 3.0 Evo isn't just a spec-sheet exercise. Buy too little power and you'll struggle against current or crosswind coming into a marina. Buy too much and you're carrying extra weight and cost you didn't need. Both motors share the same direct-drive, brushless design and hydrogeneration feature — the difference that actually matters is how much boat you're asking them to move. Navy 3.0 Evo vs Navy 6.0 Evo: The Real Difference Both motors are built on ePropulsion...

The Remigo One is one of the lightest electric outboards you can buy, but the spec sheet doesn't tell you how that weight advantage actually plays out at the dock, on a windy afternoon, or three seasons into ownership. Here are five things most reviews skip over. Why This Matters Anyone shopping for a Remigo electric outboard is usually comparing it against a handful of other small electric motors, or wondering if it can finally replace the 3hp gas engine that's been sitting on the tender for years. The spec sheet answers "what is it." It doesn't answer "what's it actually like to own." That's the gap this article fills. 1. The Weight Savings Change How You Use the Boat, Not Just How You Carry It Everyone mentions the Remigo One's 26.5-pound weight (32 pounds with the bracket). What gets skipped is what that means in practice. A motor this light means one person can lift it off the transom, walk it up a dock, and stow it in a car tru...
