The ePropulsion eLite 500W electric motor is perfect for canal, lakes, lochs, marinas and short journeys to a mooring where there is a tide / current of less than 2 knots.

It is ultra light compared to petrol engines and has far less moving parts so more reliable as there is simply less to go wrong.

If in the lifetime of ownership ie around 3,000 recharge cycles you need

  • More power
  • Longer range ( sprit battery is 3.9 times larger capacity)
  • Use other boats up to 1.6 tons
  • Want increased versatility
  • Use your boat/ tender in tidal waters
  • Need a longer shaft length

We strongly recommend that you look at the Spirit 1.0 Plus award winning best in class outboard.

Why buy the eLite

  • Though the spirit range comes in 2 parts and is lighter than petrol engines the ePropulsion elite is only 6.7kg
  • Some people don’t use their tender /boat on the sea where there are tides quicker than 2 knots
  • It’s a lot cheaper than the Spirit 1 plus
  • It looks amazing!
  • You only plan to use it on smaller transom

Summary

The elite is a stunning addition to the ePropulsion range of outboards but is limited by battery capacity.  The spirit range gives far more versatility and power but it does cost more!
