TORQEEDO Motors

Why TORQEEDO?

- 5 reasons to buy a TORQEEDO outboard motor -

1. Overall efficiency of TORQEEDO

Overall efficiency is extremely important for electric motors. TORQUEDO has made this the focus of their product development and optimised it in the best possible way. To calculate overall efficiency, the propulsive power of the TORQEEDO drive is divided by input power. While traditional petrol engines have an efficiency of between 5 and 15 %, electric outboards from TORQEEDO are significantly more efficient with values of 44-56 %. 

2. TORQEEDO drive technology 

All components of the TORQEEDO drivetrain are consistently optimised and matched to each other. All losses that occur in the propeller, gearbox, motor, electronics and cables are reduced and interactions, for example between the motor and propeller, are taken into account.

3. TORQEEDO battery technology

High-quality, lithium-based batteries are the technology of choice for TORQEEDO motors. They ensure high energy density, long service life, and the highest quality and safety standards. If you are looking for a matching battery for your TORQEEDO E motor, please take a look at our ‘TORQEEDO batteries’ category.

4. Getting your TORQEEDO up and running

TORQEEDO motors are shipped with all the necessary components for use, so all you have to do is take your Torqeedo onto the boat and start cruising straight away. Switching from conventional motors to e-motors is a breeze.

5. TORQEEDO and protecting the environment

Other advantages TORQEEDO electric motors have over petrol are obvious: no environmental pollution from exhaust gases, oil or gasoline. The outboards are light, quiet and have a very low energy consumption during operation, all in all a clean alternative! Even taking into account all production stages and energy supply, TORQEEDO's CO2 balance is still better than that of conventional combustion engines. This is due to their low weight and energy consumption during use.

Who should buy a TORQEEDO?

TORQEEDO has the perfect motor for every user and every boat. If you need an electric motor for your sailboat or a new motor for your boat, an electric motor from TORQEEDO will do the job and is suitable for nearly every kind of vessel. And TORQEEDO motors can also be used by professionals. 

Are TORQEEDO electric motors suitable for salt water?

Salt water is much more aggressive in terms of corrosion than fresh water. Because of this, not all electric outboard motors are therefore suitable for salt water. However, you can use our TORQEEDO boat motors in both fresh and salt water without any problems. They are built in such as way that salt water doesn't cause any damage. Which means you can enjoy using your TORQEEDO motor in both salt and fresh water, without worrying about corrosion problems.

 

Which TORQEEDO should I buy?

Various TORQEEDO motors are available on the market. In our online shop we have electric outboards in the TRAVEL and CRUISE series from TORQEEDO. Which TORQEEDO is suitable for your boat depends on your boat's hull features and its weight, but also on the environmental conditions. Range, speed & running time are also factors. To make sure you purchase the right TORQEEDO, we recommend taking a look at the technical specifications of our products and if necessary contact our experts for advice. We have qualified personnel ready to help you find the right motor. 

What is the range of a TORQEEDO outboard?

Battery performance and the number of kilometres that can be covered with a full battery are highly dependent on your boat type, environmental conditions and speed. Nevertheless, TORQEEDO electric boat motors can cover up to 100 km with a full charge, provided the conditions are right. On longer voyages it makes sense therefore to take a second, spare TORQEEDO battery with you or install an efficient solar energy system.
