The TEMO·450 is an electric outboard motor for dinghies and
small sailing boats. In this article, discover the advantages that make our
electric motor the ideal companion for your type of boating. The list is
long and the advantages numerous!
Weight and size of the TEMO electric boat motor
First of all, the real innovation is its ultra-light weight. The TEMO·450 weighs less than 5 kg, which is almost 10 kg less than a small regular outboard (< 2 HP). In addition, the battery is integrated, so there’s no need for an extra power pack!
This makes it very easy to transport. It has a compact size for a minimum bulkiness, with a length between 1.30 m and 1.70 m (the magic of its tubular shape!).
Electric and recharging
It is also non-polluting (and that's great news). Say goodbye to the bulky and smelly fuel can. Our electric motor for boats is recharged by electricity and guarantees cleanliness and SILENCE throughout your trip. Rechargeable from 220 V or 12 V in 3½ hours. Magic!
Versatile and multi-purpose
Another advantage is that our electric sculling oar is made for everyone. Small sailors and blue water cruisers. Its ergonomic handle has been designed for both right- and left-handers. And its adjustable telescopic handle allows you to adapt it to suit your posture in all circumstances.
With our electric boat motor, no complicated installation to worry about. It's lightweight, so you can hold it in one hand for easy installation, and its rowlock attachment allows you to fit it in less than 30 seconds. Plus, its battery gauge on the handle keeps you informed in real time of the remaining amount of charge, so you don't end up without a motor and drifting out to sea!
Next, our electric boat motor has been designed for use anywhere, even in the shallowest of waters. The TEMO·450 adjusts to the depth of the water and ensures that you can keep your feet dry as you go up on the beach, thanks to its 30 cm draft and its propeller safeguarded by a protective nozzle.
Power of the TEMO electric boat motor
The TEMO·450 meets the needs of 95% of dinghy users. And holds its own against its mechanical predecessors. It can power boats up to 2.60 m in length with 3 people on board and their gear. And even larger boats such as small sailing boats for harbour manoeuvres.
In terms of thrust, our electric boat motor is 3 times more powerful than a person rowing. It has a static thrust of 12 kg. Small but strong!
A further bonus is that 70% of our electric outboard is sourced within a 100km radius of Nantes, where our factory and premises are located. Promoting the know-how of our regions and using the local network has been one of our priorities.
So there you are. Hopefully you’ve got a clearer picture! And just so our portable electric motor holds no more secrets for you, take a look at all our other articles.
