Torqeedo Travel 1103 C speed and distance test

[LLWCorp]

it completely depends on the boat it is pushing... a canoe vs tender vs larger RIB will have dramatically different performance/range/speed with this motor. Test is somewhat useless unless you have a very similar boat to one tested. Unfortunately no info was given on the boat tested to know, compare or extrapolate from...

Nice test! It tells a lot about speed, required energy and efficiency

Thanks for the video. It nicely illustrates that up to 6 or 7 kmh power consumption is low to moderate but it becomes very power hungry when trying to approach 10kmh.
I try to build a solar catamaran with about 3kW of (max.) solar power. To be able to grossly compare to your power/speed ratios: What kind of boat is it that you use ?
Regards.

Thanks for sharing this. I find it funny that such a large battery 915 Wh compare to a little over 100 ml of gasoline. Still a great mileage. Imagine one would be able to travel 880 kilometers on 1 liter of gasoline.

Can't hurt to convert your 2stroke to electric.. quite easy//:)

do you think it vibrates less than a petrol engine?

[davidgrzywaczewski]

I had electric engine on my dinghy couldn't enjoy fishing coz rubbish range if u go full speed battery drain after about 25-30 min a specialy when u av large dinghy my by ok on kayak.
Now i av 5hp honda engine short shaft and is flying once a year service is a lot easer then recharging batteries all time or carrying 5 batteries . Electric engines is future but not yet

You can buy two 2.5 hv gas motors with the price of this one. Why?

[jesusismylord]

Overpriced garbage a normal trolling motor works just as good at a fraction of the cost

1800 euros pour 15mn d'autonomie à une vitesse à peu prés supportable.
Quelle arnaque!
