The eLite runs on an integrated 378 Wh 25.2V lithium battery and can briefly reach 750 W in Sport Mode. It clamps onto a transom, has trim settings and a shallow water tilt mode, and steers 70 degrees either way. ePropulsion points kayak owners to the kLite 750 instead, since the eLite is built for transom mounting.

KayakDIY take: An all-in-one outboard like this is handy for a dinghy or canoe, but I’d look at a kayak-specific mount if your boat has no transom. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
