EPropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus 3HP 1KW Electric Outboard Motor

Use it as a 22’ sailboat kicker on a lake - reliable, enough power, long-lasting battery. I have a spare battery but have never had to switch during a trip

I have replaced my old 2 stroke for this battery operated outboard on my complete makeover of my 14’ aluminum boat. I’m excited to get it on the water!

Bought the Spirit 1.0 plus to replace 2 Minn Kota 55 lb. thrust moters on the back of my 14/48 ft. Modified V Alumicraft jon boat.
I did this at the hope of doubling my speed from 3 miles per hr. to maybe 6 mph. My 14 ft. is wider with clip on bench seats. Haven't hit 6mph yet but its in the high 5's & I'm totally happy with that!!! Also run time up here in Maryland's reservoirs is amazing!!!
Running at 500 watts ( half of full throttle) I can go from 1 hr 15 min. to over 3 hrs!!! Amazing and im still running faster than i was before!!!
One of the best parts of this motor has to be the QUALITY of the motor.
It just not only looks quality, but it just feels quality from the prop to the handle itself!!! Well made!@$!
Sum it up, I love this toy!!!

I live on an island in Puget Sound where currents from tidal exchanges can be substantial and there is always a breeze. I have a 16' rowboat and frequently a pleasant day of rowing ends with a slog back to port against the current or the wind...often both. The Spirit 1.0 provides me with the comfort and assurance of a safe return. It silently pushes my boat - with a total displacement of 650 pounds - at a speed of 3 knots while only expending about 130 watts. Truly fabulous.

Works great! I am impressed with the power, battery life, and speed.

Excellent product. Charge lasts a long time. Relatively light weight; very good propulsion; used on a 12 foot lake / bass jon boat

Attached to a true kit discovery 330 and it pushes right along around 5 knots. The convenience is perfect. Drop it down to 4 knots and I can cruise around for hours. I store the boat and motor in an apartment in NYC. A gas motor would make it fun to be able to fly around at 15+ MPH but dealing with gas would be a huge PITA and I’m happier than I thought I’d be just cruising around at a light jog. Plus the lack of noise… A silent cruise along the back bays at sunset—priceless. It’ll be perfect once the boat becomes a dinghy a couple years down the line. Again, no gas to worry about storing on the boat and no maintenance.

The Spirit 1.0 Plus is perfect for my inflatable dinghy. Next is the solar panel on the bimini... 8-)

Exactly what I was looking, easy to operate and transport, it’s a two for one motor, a trolling motor and strong motor to get you where you need to with full confidence of getting back

Went for the first motor only cruise against 15 knots, pushed my 19', 1400 lb sail boat fine, close to a mile out and back using 1/2 battery, not a full throttle but more than half throttle.

Using this on an Isle micro skiff inflatable. Still working on a suitable motor mount, but this will real push the boat. Love how the throttle and steering direction stay set so you don’t need to constantly have your hand on the tiller. Yes, I’m going very slowly when doing so, but it beats sitting in a twisted position.

Its perfect for my lake
I can easily handle it myself
No more gas and oil

Love this motor! Light and easy to transport in two, balanced pieces.

Unapologetically exactly what it says it is:

- Low/no maintenance
- Easily stowed and deployed and packed away
- Powerful, not fast
- Lightweight
- Great to cruise a small vessel under 6mph and save on a trolling motor.

On my 12 rowboat, I'm fishing with ease. No tank taking up previous space, the battery is the cowl. I would buy this again for a small craft. It's perfect for me, I'm not a bass tournament guy where speed matters. 🐟

Very happy so far. Easy process to order, receive and setup. With limited use to date, runs well and is very efficient.

I was very pleased with how quickly I received my new motor.

Good Service and Delivery. Communication was good and electric motor is performing great - no issues.

My 12 year old outboard failed to start this year. I replaced it with an EPropulsion Spirit 1.0 electric. It is so nice to be able to put the fob in place and turn the handle to get going. The new motor is light and easy to use.

I have a 14' jon boat that I use to fish a 350 acre lake. Up to now I have used my Minnkota trolling motor to get around. This year, I decided to get a small outboard to allow my to get to different spots more quickly. After looking a several 5-8 h.p. gas motors, of course the Internet decided to show me all kinds of stuff related to my searches. One such thing was the EPropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus 3HP Electric Outboard Motor. I found a YouTube vid that compared 3 different Emotors, and the Epropulsion was the clear winner. Although it is very expensive, it checks all the boxes for me: I doesn't require winterization; I don't have to smell my car and garage with gas cans; it's relatively light, especially as the battery detaches; and it's very quiet and non-polluting. it's as fast as I need, given the size of my lake, and I get two or three outings on a charge. i'm hoping it'll do well in the longevity department.

Build quality and ease of use is very good. Speed pushing my 15 foot Rangeley with two adults on board met my expectations, getting 6.4 mph full throttle and 5.6 mph at 50-60% throttle. Do not expect it to perform like a 3HP gas OB, RPMs are much too low to get that speed performance... but you've probably already figured that out by now if you've done your research. Super quiet and enjoyable to use; I'd definitely buy it again.

We love the outboard! It is so easy to use, has plenty of power for our 10 foot dinghy, and we will never go back to a gasoline operated outboard. The outboard is not intended for planing and fast zipping about, but is great otherwise. We also purchased the carry-bag set for the outboard and battery, which makes transporting of outboard to our boat easy and efficient. I wish we had made the switch to this electric outboard years ago.

Fantastic Electric Outboard

Great motor with more power than I really expected

took the 7.8 foot dinghy out 3 times so far. I love it!. Super quiet and plenty of pep for a 3.0hp electric.

My Pudgy is the talk of the marina! Everybody wants a ride. Very stable, very durable and easy to recognize at the Dinghy dock. Unfortunately, my daughter has claimed it for her and her friends and now I'm short a Dinghy again.

I have not used it yet since I live in CT.
