What’s the cost for a new battery?

I have a Travel XP and love it. However, please stop claiming that it is a 5 Hp motor. 1600W equates to some 2.2 Hp. It is physics and none negotiable. Thanks

Really great review helped me pull the trigger! Huge improvements!

I don't see this design getting enough credit for how much space it could save in small craft with motor wells. Like cruising dinghy's. Its a niche market for sure. The well could be made much smaller. The well doesn't have to accommodate a traditional 'head' that extends forward of the mount and requires swing space inside the well.

What is the small boat used in this video? Thanks.

meh: the XP has only 1600 W. that is nowhere near 5 hp, rather slightly above 2 hp

It would be perfect is we could attach an external battery. Cant believe they did not add that. Such a shame.

Hello, how does the hydro charging feature work?

Can it be charged on the go?

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?

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...

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.

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.

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 🙏🙏😊

Does the battery float?

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!

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.

Thanks! I may get one for my sailboat ⛵️

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.

Any hydro generation when under sail?

@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?

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

surely you could remove that black top cap , drill a small hole & run some wires for an external battery

When these gadgets evolve into 120 amp hour lifepo battery and 70 pounds of thrust , im in

Are there any power box options available to charge the battery while in use on the water?

How can 500w equate to 1.5hp ?

Absolutely the best KZbin video on this motor

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.

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?

is the battery replaceable?

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.

Grazie, un video Fantastico, un saluto dalla Sicilia
