WHY CHOOSE THE ELECTRIC PADDLE SYSTEM
- It's under 16 lbs. including the battery yet it propels most small boats at 2.5-3.5 mph for almost 2 hours, or much longer at slower speeds.
- Everything is included in the system: motor, battery, charger, carry bag and even a lock.
- It's easy to understand: Clamp on, plug in and go.
- No electronics under water and no seals to wear out or fail.
- Small-boat features:
- It's the lightest system on the market
- It's 3x faster to charge. It can charge from a larger ship with a 300 watt inverter.
- The battery is buoyant so you can retrieve it
- Quickest set-up time of any motor in its class
- It is immersable because small boats sometimes get wet
- Continuously variable power- go exactly the speed you want
- All controls are in the tip of the longest standard tiller arm on the market, including the key, speed control, tilt and steering.
- No loose parts. Even the key chain is attached
- Long run time for the relative weight of the system.
- It's a great value for the performance.

The Electric Paddle system is so much lighter because it's geared properly for small boats. A trolling motor
on a small boat is like a powerful car engine stuck in first gear; no matter how much power the engine can
produce - you still go slowly.
