Torqueedo is best known for their 3-horsepower equivalent Travel 1103C outboard, but they make a range of smaller motors for fishing kayaks and similar very small craft.
Since Yamaha bought Torqeedo, we’re expecting some very interesting developments as the electric motor company will benefit from Yamaha patents.
The Ultralight comes in two sizes, 1 and 3 horsepower. But for a kayak, the 1 horsepower model is more than sufficient. At slow trolling speeds, the 915 Wh battery pack will last 24 hours; at full throttle, you eat it up in just over two, but you’ll be cruising at a neck-breaking 5 knots (9.3 kph).
The design of the Ultralight is perfect for mounting at the stern of most fishing kayaks. It has cable steering attachments and a kick-up design to protect the drive leg in shallow water and when beaching.
