Can it be charged on the go?
Yes, we sell 12v chargers and solar charge controllers for the eLite. They are backordered at the moment but we expect to have them in September. emoelectric.co/products/epropulsion-elite-12v-dc-charger emoelectric.co/products/epropulsion-elite-solar-charge-controller
Really great video this and the best out there so thanks. I really want to move on one of these but here in the Bristol Channel UK we have quite fearsome high tides and it can be choppy. With a 2.3m inflatable as a tender and having to travel a round trip of say 1.5nm, I'm wondering if this will have the power/guts to cut through the water and get me home?
Glad that you enjoyed the video! We'd expect a 2.3m inflatable to do between 4 and 4.5 knots with an eLite in calm conditions. You'd have about 45 minutes of run time at full power, which would give you about 3nm of range. If you're fighting current and chop, your speed at full power and range will certainly decrease, although by how much is difficult to say. Do you know how many knots of current you're usually dealing with?
@@EMOElectric Thanks for the reply! Tide flows at around 3 knots
Love this new setup keep the battery cool aswell
I bought a Torqeedo Travel motor at the end of July 2023. I will never buy Torqeedo again. From the first uses I had an error code 30 (problem sending/receiving data between the battery and the engine) preventing the engine from starting... This problem is well known to Torqeedo. I followed the recommendations of Torqeedo support and tutorials (plugging and unplugging the cable several times so that the error disappears) all last season… It was stressful never being sure the engine was going to run... but it always started again after a few tries. This season I have the error code E30 again, but impossible to resolve the problem... I plug and unplug it dozens of times, I apply WD40 as recommended by Torqeedo but the blocking code does not disappear. I then contact Torqeedo support who directs me to an authorized reseller for maintenance. After receiving the motor, the latter tells me that Torqeedo does not apply the warranty on the pretext that a pin is broken on the cable (from plugging and unplugging 100 times, no doubt!!!). He tells me that I have to dismantle the entire engine, check the tightness, etc., all for the modest sum of 1000 euros, and without commitment of deadlines, the latter having no visibility on the availability of parts!!! (engine value 2349 euros). I follow up with Torqeedo support who doesn't want to hear anything. Yesterday the dealer contacted me to tell me that he is stopping business with Torqeedo, that I must pay shipping costs to recover my engine which is still out of service. And Torqeedo is still absent. So a piece of advice: avoid this brand, don’t buy Torqeedo!!!! Zero quality, zero service, no respect for “promises”, no consideration for the customer. There are a whole bunch of other brands and engines that are much more quality. Ps: I have a hybrid boat and I have always praised electric technologies...
What an awful experience.
How long can you go with solar connected thank you for information
Nice seeing this new motor! Looks like they have made some great improvements and the extra hp is also good to see.
Absolutely! We're very happy to see the improvements from Torqeedo.
I'm a bit worried about any kind of potentially missing internal battery management software if they are really worried about having to babythe batteries state of charge, especially considering the products seasonality. Besides that I think it's a pretty awesome design overall. Like others have mentioned I really wish that the internal battery was hot-swappable, or if they made a version that had twice the internal capacity with the same sleek design.
Like all ePropulsion batteries, the eLite has an internal BMS. You do need to check the state of charge when the motor is not in regular use, but ePropulsion recommends once every three months. ePropulsion doesn't tell us anything about products that are in development, but we wouldn't be surprised if there is a bigger version of the eLite in the works!
ty for the video 🙏🙏🙏 any way u can make a video demo ing use of solar charger?? and dc adapter? to say a power station? how long to charge? can it keep battery topped off will light cruising? tysm for yer consideration 🙏🙏😊
You're welcome, and thanks for the input! We can certainly do a video on the chargers. We'll have a lot more videos coming out in the Fall when we have a bit more time on our hands!
Does the battery float?
It does not float.
😂
Great video. I’m bummed a year ago I bought the 1103 and this newer model has so many nice feature. Argh! Anyone want to buy a used 1103 torqeedo?
One more thing, how big is your boat that you have your torqeedo on?
@@funkqueen1 In this video we're testing the Torqeedo Travel XP on a 19' Flying Scot. She weighs about 800-1000 pounds.
Thanks for the excellent video - it was really usefull, and extremely well done! One quick question - if the motor will be used exclusively in fresh water, should I use different anodes? Any other things that might be different from sea water use? Thanks again!
We're glad that you found it helpful! If you're using the motor in freshwater, you don't need to rinse it to get the salt off, just to keep it clean. That's about it!
charging the phone 🤦 ...how unprepared people could be for "relaxing" short trip holiday-feeling (kurztrip , naherholung) 👋🇩🇪
"it works like advertised" ...🤔 middle sea the " new's " are shark/wale swim crazy ...so what will happen if something else than water catch this outboard engine? ropes from lazy seafarers are also to spot (rotterdam , antwerp etc. )
it is sad there is no provision to add a supplementary battery power source to the Elite because the battery is "built in"side of the shaft. Seems to me that 45 minutes of runtime is not much for an auxiliary electric outboard that has no provision to add additional battery. Some thought should be considered for a simple clamshell housing to secure the 2 motor bracket screw downs to eliminate their loosening & unscrewing with loss of the motor overboard. It is a good idea that might benefit from improvement.
We haven't heard of any issues with the bracket loosening up, but there is a small area where you can tie a line through the elite and to your boat if you are concerned about it falling off. If you are looking for something with longer range and the option to add third party batteries, or batteries that you can swap out, we would recommend the Spirit Evo or Spirit 1.0 Plus.
Thanks! I may get one for my sailboat ⛵️
We can certainly help with that! Our website is www.emoelectric.co. Feel free to send me an email at luke@emoelectric.co if you have any questions!
Thank you for the review. It looks like some good improvements, especially the elimination of cables. I just need to figure out how to put a motor mount on my 16' sailboat.
They definitely made some great improvements! What kind of sailboat is it? Feel free to send me an email to luke@emoelectric.co, I am happy to help with that!
Any hydro generation when under sail?
To the best of our knowledge, the new Travel motors do not have hydrogeneration. While it is a cool feature that some small outboards have, it is often not very practical in charging, as you need to be doing about 6kts or more for it to be meaningful on a small motor like this, which is usually not mounted on a boat that routinely does those speeds. The larger Torqeedo Cruise and pod drive motors do have hydrogeneration, as well as ePropulsion's Spirit Evo.
@EMOElectric - 1. How exactly does one tighten the steering friction? 2. I have a 6" thick ISLE Switch Pro SUP with mounting plates for a transom. What would be the optimal depth or shaft length for the propeller? 3. What range would you guess the eLite would have at @1/4 power?
The steering friction can be tightened by tightening the nut on the bottom of the transom bracket with a 10mm hex wrench. The top of the propeller should be just below the bottom of the SUP. We'd need to know the distance from the top of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the SUP to figure out the ideal shaft length for the eLite, but I suspect it that the elite would work well for that. In terms of range, I would expect that you'd get about 3 hours of run time at 1/4 power. Feel free to send us an email to luke@emoelectric.co and I'd be happy to work out the details of this with you!
A few concerns: Water ingress Materials used in re corrosion resistance Battery life/ eventual replacement Recharge options/specs
This ticks all the right boxes in terms of its mechanical design features. It's perfect in that regard. The negatives are the range and price. Create a non-integrated battery option where you slide a fresh battery down inside the shaft from the top and I am sold.
Great review thanks
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
surely you could remove that black top cap , drill a small hole & run some wires for an external battery
We would not recommend attempting this, and doing so would certainly void the warranty. If you need more range, we'd recommend the Spirit 1.0 Plus or Spirit Evo, both of which can be used with external and/or third party batteries.
When these gadgets evolve into 120 amp hour lifepo battery and 70 pounds of thrust , im in
People like you will ALWAYS find an excuse to rebuke technology, no matter how advanced it gets.
Are there any power box options available to charge the battery while in use on the water?
Yes, we have 12v and solar charge controllers available for the eLite. emoelectric.co/products/epropulsion-elite-12v-dc-charger emoelectric.co/products/epropulsion-elite-standard-charger-copy
How can 500w equate to 1.5hp ?
Good question! If you do the math, 500w does not equal 1.5hp. But this 500w motor will perform like a 1.5hp combustion outboard. Electric outboards are much more efficient than gas outboards, and their power output is measured differently. Check out our blog post on the topic for the full explanation. emoelectric.co/blogs/electric-outboard/understanding-electric-outboards-horsepower-vs-kilowatt
Absolutely the best RUclips video on this motor
Glad you found it helpful!
Couldn't agree more! Superb video and certainly the best on YT. Even better than ePropulsion's tutorial vids!
Loving this unit. What are we looking at for the amount of charge cycles that consumers can expect until end of life? Also, warranty is full replacement? Thinking for batteries and speed controller or shaft leaks into the motor.
Most users will need to replace their electric outboard batteries due to time, not charge cycles. We expect a battery life on the eLite of about 7-10 years if it is properly cared for. Each warranty claim is different, but given that the eLite has relatively few serviceable parts, we expect full replacements to be more common than with the Spirit.
Good stuff thank you !
I need a 20 inch shaft. It sounded like the eLite will not work for that length. What is maxium measurement from top of transom to bottom of boat?
Shaft measurements are slightly different for most electric outboards compared to combustion outboards. The highest transom the eLite can accommodate is about 15.5 inches. Please take a look at this guide from ePropulsion. At its longest setting, the eLite has the same shaft length as the Spirit 1.0 Plus extra short. You would likely need the Spirit 1.0 Plus short shaft. www.epropulsion.com/post/measure-electric-outboard-shaft-length/
is the battery replaceable?
Hi- the battery is not replaceable.
@@EMOElectricso unit has to be thrown away when batteries are end of life?
@@BrookStockton The same is true of most electric outboards; the batteries need to be disposed of. I have just had to dispose of two batteries for a Torqeedo after 10 years.
Thanx a lot for this video! I bought an eP few weeks ago and this video is really helpful to get a quick and very valuable hits to it.
Glad that you found it helpful! Enjoy the motor!
@@EMOElectric I will 🙂
Grazie, un video Fantastico, un saluto dalla Sicilia
