The Spirit 2 comes in extra short, short and long shaft lengths with tiller or remote top-mount throttle control. The tiller version adds a full-color display and a 3 kW boost mode, which the remote version doesn’t support yet. Hydrogeneration lets the battery recharge while under sail.

KayakDIY take: This is a dinghy motor, not a kayak motor, but the integrated battery keeps things simple. For kayak options, see my best kayak motors guide.
