E-Propulsion Spirit 2.0

Ready to ditch the noise, fumes, and hassle of petrol outboards forever? Meet the game-changing ePropulsion Spirit 2 — the ultimate portable electric outboard that's redefining small-boat power for Kiwi boaties and beyond!
Just launched as the fourth-generation evolution of the legendary Spirit series, the Spirit 2 packs 2 kW continuous power (equivalent to a reliable 5 HP petrol motor) with an explosive 3 kW Boost Mode that punches up to 6-9 HP equivalent for getting on plane fast — think 11-12 knots (around 20+ kph) on a Takacat tender with one person aboard. No more puttering around at trolling speeds; this is real, practical propulsion for everyday use on your inflatable, day sailor, fishing runabout.
 
What makes it a no-brainer upgrade?
Massive integrated battery — a quick-connect 1,539 Wh powerhouse (the biggest in its class) delivers impressive range: cruise for hours at half power, or blast in boost when you need it. Plus, smart hydrogeneration recharges the battery while you're sailing (up to 380W at 10 knots) — perfect for extending your adventures on the Waitemata or beyond.
Ultra-portable & lightweight — total system weight around 21 kg (motor ~10 kg + battery ~10 kg), with a foldable tiller, easy shallow-water trim, and effortless carry from car to boat ramp.
Silent, zero-emission bliss — glide across the water under 60 dB, no exhaust, no oil changes, no starting dramas. Charge your fish finder, phone, or lights via the built-in 45W USB-C output.
Award-winning innovation — Fresh off winning the Innovation Award for Alternative Propulsion at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show, it's already turning heads as a benchmark for clean, user-friendly electric boating.
Early tests show it effortlessly planes light boats, delivers smooth torque from zero RPM, and handles real-world conditions like a champ — all while staying as compact and easy to store as the classic Spirit 1.0, but with double the power and smarter features.
Availability hits New Zealand this autumn 2026 through authorised dealers (pre-orders are live and moving fast — don't get left in the wake!). It's the perfect fit for Kiwi boat owners who want reliable, eco-friendly performance without the petrol pump pain.
Upgrade to silent, powerful freedom today.
