EMO Electric

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...

Every boat owner knows the knot in their stomach that forms right before pulling the starter cord on a traditional small gas outboard. You ask yourself: Did the ethanol in the fuel gum up the jets this week? Is the carburetor flooded? Am I going to spend my morning cleaning a spark plug instead of enjoying the water? For decades, this "carburetor anxiety" was simply accepted as the tax you paid for owning a dinghy, tender, or daysailer. But when the epropulsion spirit 1.0 plus hit the marine market, it promised to eliminate that anxiety entirely. Moving away from internal combustion isn't just about reducing emissions. It's about maximizing your limited hours on the water. After tracking real-world performance, customer feedback, and long-term durability, we are delivering a definitive, human-first endurance audit of the Spirit 1.0 Plus to see if it truly cures the headache of small gas engines. The 3-Year Reality Check: How Does the Hardware Hold Up? When evaluat...

Electric boating has evolved rapidly over the last few years. Today, boat owners have access to powerful, reliable electric outboards capable of replacing traditional gasoline engines for many applications. Two of the most popular choices in ePropulsion's lineup are the ePropulsion Navy 3.0 Evo and the ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo. At first glance, the decision seems simple. One motor produces 3kW of power while the other delivers 6kW. But after helping boat owners choose electric propulsion systems, we've learned that selecting the right motor isn't simply about choosing the bigger number. The real question isn't which motor is more powerful. The real question is: Which motor is actually right for your boat?  Let's break it down.

For years, small gasoline outboards have been the default choice for tenders, dinghies, and compact recreational boats. They are familiar, widely available, and capable of delivering dependable performance. However, they also come with fuel management, maintenance requirements, engine noise, and storage challenges that many boaters simply accept as part of the experience. That mindset changed during a recent weekend boating trip where we spent several days evaluating the Torqeedo Travel XP in real-world coastal conditions. What began as a simple test of an electric outboard quickly became a lesson in how much boating technology has evolved. This isn’t a laboratory review or a specification sheet. Instead, it’s a practical look at what happened when we replaced a traditional gasoline outboard with a modern electric propulsion system and observed the differences firsthand. Why We Decided to Test the Torqeedo Travel XP Most conversations about electric outboards focus on environmental be...
