Kayak pod drive ePOD-1.0

SUPfishing boatdinghy

Product Brief
The ePOD-1.0 Electric SUP Thruster is a lightweight electric propulsion system designed for stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), inflatable kayaks, fishing boats and small rowboats. The unit uses a hard-anodized aluminum alloy housing for seawater corrosion resistance. Weighing 1.8 kg, it is easy to carry and install. The integrated high-efficiency brushless motor with built-in controller minimizes wiring, reduces power loss and improves thermal performance. The dynamically balanced plastic propeller reduces vibration and noise.

Performance Options
Option A: 15 kgf thrust / top speed 4.5 km/h
Option B: 23 kgf thrust / top speed 7.5 km/h
Both options support boat loads of 45–85 kg, feature IP68 waterproofing, and are compatible with freshwater and seawater environments. Suitable for recreational fishing, short-distance water transport and outdoor water sports.

Applications

• Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP): suitable for recreational and touring paddleboards.
• Kayaks & Small Dinghies: fits single- and double-person kayaks and small rowboats.
• Fishing Boats: for cruising and maneuvering on fishing vessels.
• Water Environments: optimized for freshwater and seawater use.
