How many examples can you think of where a boost of power would make your kayak experience that much more fun?
That’s the theory behind Hobie Kayaks groundbreaking new eVolve series powered by Torqeedo’s revolutionary Ultra light electric motor. For the first time in kayak history, you’re one touch away from quiet, clean, and efficient electric propulsion. Go for hours at a steady two knots, or pour on the juice for a burst of speed... It’s your call. This compact, German engineered motor is custom designed with two different types of Hobie mounts to slip into your existing Hobie kayak. The eVolve easily secures into the Hobie Mirage Drive well or the eVolve can be mounted on a Hobie Twist and Stow rudder. The conveniently placed remote throttle controls the electric motor and displays all the essential information you need at your fingertips.
A 230wh Lithium Manganese battery (8Ah at 28.8V) is the heart that pumps the power to Torqeedo’s Ultra light motor. At only 6.6 pounds, this battery has a built in GPS (for speed calculations) and is completely watertight… It actually floats. At a full charge, this battery will continue to perform for up to 8 hours. The installation kit comes with all the parts needed to run all of your wires internally for a clean deck with minimal exposed wiring. A totally unique connection system allows everything to be completely IP68 watertight in both connected and disconnected states.
The remote throttle allows you to mount your controls conveniently near your seating position using a RAM mounting system (provided with kit). The easy to understand readout gives you all of the critical information that you need to know to get you to and from your destination. The throttle pad is also equipped with a magnetic key pad for a safety key in the event you are separated from your kayak or to prevent theft.
