Take an active part in decarbonizing and revitalizing the boating industry!
TEMO designs and markets electric boat motors.
Our company first gained recognition in 2020 thanks to an innovative product, the TEMO·450. Revolutionary in the marine industry due to its lightweight design (5 kg), unique tubular shape (integrated battery), and telescopic ergonomics, it draws inspiration from urban mobility and powers all types of lightweight leisure craft (tenders, small boats, and dinghies). In six years of commercialization, we have sold nearly 6,000 units across 36 countries (50% export sales).
Building on this commercial success, TEMO is now accelerating its growth by expanding its product range. Manufactured in Europe and developed with a strong commitment to quality, TEMO motors actively contribute to the decarbonization and revitalization of recreational boating.
