TORQEEDO Travel 1003 Electric Outboard Reviews

TORQEEDO Travel 1003 for daysailers up to 1,500 KG , tenders, dinghies and deck boats effortlessly for up to 10 hours., this motor sets a new standard for quiet, lightweight and ecologically-friendly propulsion. With a built-in ultra-efficient, lithium-manganese battery pack, Torqeedo Travel outboards deliver power and range. (Range varies depending on speed and boat type. At full throttle run time is about 30 minutes, slower speeds result in up to 6 hours or more!) Improved efficiency means users enjoy up to 30% more power compared to previous Torqeedo models. Additionally, new models are waterproof to IP67 standards. Ease-of-use is enhanced by a four-function display that shows percent of battery power remaining, speed through water and range remaining at current speed. Speed and range are calculated using an integrated GPS-receiver. An audible signal warns you when the battery charge drops to 30%. The smallest carbon footprint of any propulsion motor.



 Can do everything that a 1.5/ 3 HP petrol outboard can, plus it’s environmentally friendlier, quieter, lighter and more convenient
- Audible alarm countdown: as soon as the remaining battery charge reaches 30 %, 20 % and 10 % a warning signal is given
- Completely waterproof (IP 67)
- On-board computer with GPS-based calculation of remaining range
- Solar rechargeable – including during the voyage
- Can be easily dismantled for transport and space-saving storage
- A clean affair: no matter how or where you store your Travel, there’s no risk that anything will leak out or smell
- From fully discharged, charging with the charger provided takes approximately 15 hours (Travel 1003).

Impressive quality and engineering. I use it on a Watertender 9.9 and my expectations have been exceeded. Range and speed are very good. I replaced a 4hp four stroke and really like a gas/oil free 30lb motor. I ran it several hours, approx. 2-4 miles and got home with 50% battery remaining. I am planning on adding a solar panel to extend the range and recharge while at the sand bar. Considering it's weight at 29.5 lbs and range of 2-16 NM depending on speed, no oil changes, water pump impellers, thermostats, tune-ups, flushing, not having to start & warm-up, not having to reach back to shift F-N-R, only twisting the throttle. This is the perfect outboard for 2 - 4HP applications. I Love It !
