Outboard motors Boatee: a new rudder style electric outboard


Since Remigo introduced the first ‘rudder style’ electric outboard in 2021, there have been a number of entries in the category, all with similar power (1 – 1.5 kW). One of the main differences between them now is the design, of both overall look and user functionality. Boatee is a new motor out of Italy and, as you would expect from a country with a strong design DNA, has a very sleek and distinctive look with bold lines and black/aqua colour combination. The most obvious functional element setting it apart is the flip top handle/tiller/monitor with information about the energy usage, battery state of charge and GPS up close to you at the end of the tiller handle. The motor itself is 1.3 kW and weighs 6 kilos (13 lb). The 48V Li-ion is separate, weighing 5.8 kg and storing .932 kWh of electricity. Boatee’s performance stats are based on a 3m (10 ft) inflatable dinghy with one passenger aboard and the company says the range at 3 knots is over six hours – about 18 nM depending on conditions (5.5 kph and ≈30 km/3.5 mph and ≈20 mi.) The cost is €2.190,00.
