Good to know

  • The motor is only compatible with the Torqeedo Ultralight Travel battery, so choose the package with the battery unless you already own one.
  • It is designed to tie into a kayak’s foot-control steering, so check that your boat has a rudder steering setup before ordering.

KayakDIY take: A motor that shows remaining range in time or distance takes a lot of guesswork out of a long day on the water. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
