Build to last and last and last

We have made things simple for you. We created a maintenance free and robust inboard motor to give you peace of mind. This might just be the last motor you’ll ever buy.

The strong & silent type

The highly efficient Saietta axial flux motor is at the heart of every Propel product. Going further on a charge, you get to spend more time on the water, in blissful silence.

Inner strength

In boating, the name of the game is torque. Standard motors cannot generate a lot of it. Our large-diameter Saietta Axial Flux motor can, making it much more efficient and quieter than its traditional counterparts.

These realistic numbers are based on the Duurzame Sloepen DS680 sloop, a large and luxurious sloop measuring 6.80 m by 2.50 m and with a displacement hull. Cruise speed equals 70% of the hull speed. The numbers above are based on a 100% discharge but Propel advises discharging to 20% in normal operations. Please contact our product specialists for more performance sheets.
