Re: [Electric Boats] Re: 48V ELECTRIC OUTBOARD

 

I would still like to see a side by side test on the real physical performance of the motors.
I would hope that the cheap knock-off works.  But I would be very skeptical that it provides as much power as the Torqeedo.

If you just have a small dingy to push back and forth to the dock, then either might be fine, in which case it would be silly to overspend by 4x - just by a complete backup set and save 2x!  :)

I personally think the Torqeedo's are overpriced.  However - they are great motors (I have two, and am VERY happy with the motors).

If I had more time and money, I'd love to get one of the cheap ones and compare the two!

Hello James

Yes, that is it!!!

Battery from HK at US $132.50 plus shipping

Outboard at US $315 included shipping.

So, I paid US $500 the system. If your Torquedo was $2000, you paid 4 times more.

I got a 1000w motor instead of 480w?

48v torque instead of 24v

13S Lithium is 54.6V  x 15amps = 819w battery instead of the Torquedo  " nominal 29.6v " of 18 amps  = 530 Wh  battery. The other Torquedo 915 Wh Li-Ion battery is  (29.6 V / 31 Ah)  at $815

 

 

So, yes, I have 50% more power, more range, more speed and more torque for a quarter of the price! Sorry… never too late to learn I believe.

Next time, don't buy a 6v screwdriver for the price of 24v drill because you read " Made in Germany". I hope you appreciate my humor.

Best regards. Fred

Heck the 915 watt-hr battery is only $815 at Defender.




Worst Marine kind of sucks on prices
