Electric propulsion that's redefining recreational boating
Since its creation, TEMO has been innovating to rethink electric propulsion for small boats. Our ambition is simple: to develop cutting-edge propulsion solutions that make boating easier and improve the experience on the water.
Designed in France, TEMO motors challenge traditional market standards through patented innovations, purpose-driven design and a user-centred approach.
Today, this commitment to innovation is recognised at a national level. Since 2025, TEMO has been a recipient of the France 2030 i-Nov programme, a distinction that highlights the technological and industrial excellence of our solutions.
Innovation with a purpose. People at the helm
TEMO holds several patents – useful and designed for practical use:

Ultra-portable electric motors among the lightest in their category. Award-winning for their design and widely recognised as a benchmark solution for tenders and small boats.
→ Patented telescopic architecture
TEMO.1000
A powerful and versatile propulsion solution for boats up to 26 ft, combining mechanical innovation with exceptional ease of use.
→ Patented retractable tiller handle, integrated directly into the motor shaft for enhanced comfort and space-saving storage.
→ Patented 360° rotating mounting bracket, offering unprecedented installation flexibility.
OUTPOD
Available in 500 W, 1 kW and 3 kW versions, the OUTPOD™ combines the performance of an electric pod drive with the simplicity of an outboard motor: compact, lightweight and adaptable, with remote-control options and configurable battery capacity.

Innovations shared across the entire TEMO range
Modular, cable-free, and rack-mountable batteries
TEMO batteries fit directly into the motor or dedicated racks, with no cables or complex connections. Lightweight and interchangeable, they simplify handling and make it easy to adapt your range to every outing.
IP68 ceramic sealing technology
TEMO is the first manufacturer to integrate an IP68-rated ceramic shaft seal into electric motors in this category.
The result is complete waterproof protection, maintenance-free operation and consistently high performance throughout the motor's lifetime.
Innovation with a purpose
At TEMO, innovation is never innovation for its own sake. Every development serves a clear objective: making boating simpler, reducing environmental impact and delivering products that are durable, reliable and enjoyable to use.
TEMO remains committed to supporting boaters, marine professionals and industrial partners in building a more modern, more responsible and future-focused boating industry.
