Alexandros Retsinas tests the ePropulsion eLite 500W electric outboard on two types of tenders: a flat-bottom model and an inflatable-hull model.0:23 Weighing 7.4 kilograms, the unit features a detachable battery and tiller, allowing for storage inside a cabin or vehicle to prevent theft.1:10 The motor provides instant forward, neutral, and reverse shifting via the tiller, which Retsinas notes offers superior maneuverability for setting long lines compared to gasoline outboards that lack a gearbox.3:27 Performance tests show a maximum speed of 2.4 knots while carrying four to five passengers.2:52 At a 350-watt power setting, the outboard achieves a continuous range of 2.5 nautical miles.5:42 Charging options include 220-volt AC, 12-volt DC from a boat’s house bank, or solar panels.2:03 The electric motor operates silently, producing no fumes and allowing for close approaches to wildlife and crowded beaches without disturbance.4:44 The unit requires no mechanical maintenance.1:30
