Build to last and last and last

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

The strong & silent type

Our unique pancake motor delivers high torque at a low rpm. Making it quiet, yet powerful and takes you further more comfortably.

The perks

Efficient propulsion

Optimal balance between propeller size and motor performance.

Smart display

Start with the flick of a switch. The display tells you everything you need to know.

Magnetic key

Be always safe thanks to the magnetic key. In case of emergency, the motor shuts down after 20 seconds

Cooling system

We cool our motors and electronics with a closed-loop cooling system. So no maintenance is needed, and performance lasts.

Colour coordinated

Choose your favourite colour to make your boat look as smart as the motor that powers it.

Have it your way

Since no boat is the same, you can choose your setup: we offer both remote and tiller control.

Pick your battery

You can pick from three batteries for your motor, or you can make your own by stacking our 1.7 kWh packs—you can choose how many to have on each side, which might make placing them easier.

Hull speed — 

11.5 km/h @ 8 kW

Cruise speed — 

8 km/h @ 2 kW

Low speed — 

6 km/h @ 1 kW

6.8 kWh

This compact 6.8 kWh lithium battery is great for light use.

Hull speed —

13.6 kWh

Need extra range? Our 13.6 kWh battery will give you plenty to boat all day.

Hull speed —

11.5 km/h @ 8 kW

1h50 / 21 km

Cruise speed —

15h / 90 km

These numbers are based on a S1 pre-production unit behind a large sloop measuring 6.80 m by 2.50 m 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. More data, e.g. with a planning hull and RIB, will be shared closer to launch.

Try for yourself

We could go on and on about the Propel experience. But rather than taking our word for it, why not take one for a spin or visit one of our stores instead.
