Light but powerful electric outboard motor review | Thrustme Kicker 1kW unboxing and test | MBY

Ill take a regular motor with a lithium battery and go a lot longer and faster. Also ill have tons of money left over

put this on a 14ft jon boat to have a power motor on back to get me up and down the reservoir.this thing will move you along like a pro. for the the price it is unbeatable. i gonna replace the front motor with a 55 and should be flying down the reservoir.

what is the name of the bot engine, i want to get it

How about a link to the website that sells this!

It's a great concept but for me it would need to have an optional battery plug just in case the internal battery was depleted. With all propulsion devices longer battery life is paramount. Absolutely no one wants to be stranded in headwinds while needing a charge.
The other options this has make in viable for limited applications.

Very cool! Perfect for covert missions.
I noticed the Boston Whaler in the background. Now I wonder: how many USA boat makers sell in the UK and how popular are they, compared with British boats sold in the USA.

Awesome hot tub circulation motor

Great review! Is it waterproof in case of a capsize (14' RC sailboat)? Will it float or does it have an option for a flotation device?

Kinder Toy...... Thanks for your video 👍

😂 Thrust me. Not sure that's an ideal name anywhere.

I need to buy for my flywoodboat how to buy this

I would not rust any of these products. I had nothing but junk made in china products from them the name patriot is not USA made and they will not send their solar generator for testing.

What is the weight of that boat?

I think 1 or 2 on the speed setting is rowing speed so more than ample for a small tender. I love this motor, been looking at getting an electric outboard and this fits my needs perfectly. Need it for 2 man tender plus could use on my kayak too. The fact that it's made by a Norwegian company also gives confidence this is going to be a reliable motor.

If I had one of these on a larger tender I would probably make a removable clamp on tie rod system. This would keep the light weight setup of it but would give more overall torque (lbs of thrust) to help move more weight. The props can still only turn a certain speed but it would help get the increased weight to that top speed better. Looks like a really promising product

Great little motor. I just bought one...People need to understand it is designed to be used for short trips, lightweight. It is not designed to be used for crossing the Atlantic! Yes you can have external battery to increase range etc, but you start defeating the object of the device in the first place if you need 10kg of external battery! As with all electric propulsion range is massively increased by using less power, but it takes longer to get anywhere!

how fast is it?

Price in US dollars...???

30 minutes only! When is this motor good?

A really useful review.

Thrust me 😂

Like every manufacture today they always try to limit you so you always wind up coming back to that company. Here is the battery why the fu$% would you put a built-in battery? There are so many options other than built-in battery.

Seems not to be very effective with thrust of 35 pounds at 1000 W, (according to wholesaler homepage): In comparison my xxx brand is rated with 70 pounds at 780 W. I suppose it is caused by the very small propeller although it's a ducted fan construction (per se quite interesting; the only one, as far as I can see, used with electric outboards).

anyone know if this can charge while in use for extra range

Fantastic! Id love to have one,where can i buy, is it available here in the Philippines?

You can use the phone app to show the actual speed would help us know just how fast pretty good is😜😳👍

What's wrong with your thumb nail ?

The main problem I see with this is if the battery enclosure gets damage it could essentially leak and blow up , have a look at batteries exposed to water even certain stuff at the size of an AA can be like a grenade.

good day. I have been trying to find a link to purchase the thrustme kicker but cant find it. Can you please help.

They've compared it to the high end (Torqueedo) but not to the low end: I can get a 1hp (about 70 lb. thrust) brushless Haswing that weighs only 14 lbs. (6.3kg) and 30ah lithium battery that weighs only 7 lbs. (3kg) for total of around $500 -- vs. $1600 USD for the Kicker. Only advantage I see is stuffing the Kicker in a paddleboard backpack for remote hiking/paddling. Otherwise, you're paying nearly 3x the money for a lot less power and range. And without a folding tiller, it would be difficult to fully tilt out of water on my low paddleboard or some kayaks.

how to buy motor

Wonder how this would work on my solo craft boat

Add link for purchase please

Is this any different than say a Minn Kota trolling motor? I get the bigger electric outboards will out perform a trolling motor. But if you're shopping for a small electric outboard, what's the difference? Genuinely curious for my boat.

Mantap bossku 👍 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

I have a Minn Kota electric trolling motor that I run off a simple lead acid battery works great. Also very lightweight. Not very expensive new and downright cheap used on craigslist.

This motor is how many cost,and HP.

I want one ... where can i get it ! :)

💦 + ⚡️ = 🔥

Is der the possibility to attach an external battery?Thanks.

Worthless and to expensive

Do they make a 4-6hp model suitable for moving a 24ft yacht into and around a marina.

Can you put price one USA 🇺🇸 currency 💴 please

Painful to watch a one handed presented fumbling both the product and camera.

Beautiful design, needs a jack for those that require additional range. I suppose the concern is how to display the power level of the auxiliary battery. That could easily be made a part of the battery and not the motor display.

The transom pivot bracket is poorly designed as was well pointed out in the video. 3 or 4 major flaws and or clearance problems. Hopefully they will develop that and other lacking features.

I guarantee the remote control will be lost before your second trip.

Der Motor kann keine 1000 watt Leistung abgeben maximal um 500 Watt weil der Akku nur ca. 250wh Leistung .
Bei Vollgas soll dieser Akku den Motor ca. 30 Minuten lang mit Strom versorgen können.
Das macht somit eine maximale Leistungsaufnahme von rund 500 Watt bei 1000 Watt würde der Akku nach nur 15Minuten leer sein .
