Torqeedo has revised its Travel electric outboard motor. The biggest change is the direct drive, the gearbox has been removed. As a result, the drive unit has become slightly larger under water, but the new Travel 1103 C is now in whisper mode: according to the manufacturer, the whisk is now only 33 decibels quiet.
Together with the largest 915 watt-hour battery, the electric outboard is said to produce 1100 watts and weigh 17 kilograms. This makes it suitable as a drive for boats up to 1.5 tonnes - which is equivalent to a combustion engine with 3 hp. Its price: 2200 euros.
