Lightweight, Super Efficient!
The Torqeedo Ultralight 403 weighs just 15.4 pounds, yet it's as powerful as a 1 horsepower gas trolling engine. German precision engineering and design enables the Torqeedo to travel over 6 miles per hour at maximum speed. At 2.5 miles per hour, this super efficient motor has a range of up to 26.1 miles. When it comes to performance and convenience, nothing comes close to a Torqeedo Ultralight 403.
Whether it is for fishing in your local water or cruising down a long winding river on a sunny afternoon, the Torqueedo kayak motor will increase a kayaker’s options to enjoy time on the water.
NOTE: Recommended for Hard Shell Kayaks. However, mounting brackets for a variety of inflatable kayaks will be available in the near future.

Watertightness: All motor components are watertight, protected against complete immersion.
Safety: The motor shuts off when the magnetic key on the remote throttle control is removed. Therefore, for safety reasons, the magnetic key should be attached to the wrist or the life vest. If the kayak capsizes, the motor shuts off automatically to avoid possible injury. Battery charge time: When fully discharged, the charge time with the charger supplied is approx. 12 hours.
Lithium battery life expectancy: Charge cycles are not the main factor affecting the service life of the lithium-manganese battery. The battery does not have a memory-effect. Generally, a loss of capacity of 4% per year can be assumed. Aging is accelerated if the battery is exposed to high temperatures for long periods and if it is stored fully charged for long periods. Therefore, the battery can be used in very hot conditions, but should be removed from the sun and stored in a cool place when not used. If it is stored for a longer period of time, its charge status should be about 50%. If these instructions are followed, your battery will have a life expectancy of some 6-10 years.
Integrated battery specifications: The integrated battery has a capacity of 320 Wh, i.e. 11 Ah at 29.6 V.
