Primary power at affordable prices
If you‘re looking for a powerful electric outboard motor, you have three options. You can compromise on power and purchase a cheap, less powerful trolling motor. Apart from its lower strength, it will have an overall efficiency rate of some 20% (i.e. 80% of the battery capacity is not converted into propulsive power but is lost instead).

Description
Alternatively, you can purchase a rather expensive, very heavy motor from a small outboard builder. These motors usually have an overall efficiency range of 30-35%. Or you can purchase a Torqeedo. It‘s light, immensely powerful, and comes with an efficiency rating of more than 50%, which makes it clearly the high-end solution on the market period. In addition, due to our industrial approach to electric outboards, it is also affordably priced.
The Cruise 2.0 is a 24-volt motor that has the propulsive power of a 5 hp gasoline outboard and the thrust of a 6 hp gasoline outboard. The 2010 models feature a new improved driveline with improved longevity, higher efficiency and less noise.
* Thrust equivalent to 6 HP gas outboard
* 24 V
* 18,5 kg (S) / 19,0 kg (L)
Available in short or long shaft models
Battery supply: The Cruise 2.0 requires a battery voltage of 24 V. We recommend a battery supply of two batteries, each with a capacity of at least 180 Ah. Lead-based batteries are not resistant to high current, i.e. the capacities indicated on the casing are not available when the batteries are to be fully discharged in a short time (e.g. 1 or 2 hours). For this reason, you should allow for sufficient reserves. Alternatively, the Cruise 2.0 can also be run with at least one lithium-manganese battery from the Torqeedo Power series.
Connection to remote throttle/steering: No longer available with this model. For this
application, we developed our new models, Cruise 2.0 R and 4.0 R.
Saltwater use: The Cruise R models are better suited for the use in salt water than this tiller version. They are also waterproof IP 67. Using the Cruise 2.0 tiller version in saltwater does require protection of the contacts and protection from complete submersion.
