Navigating a current-ripped bay… A longer-than-expected coastal tour… A quick run across the lake to a favored fishing shoal… 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' revolutionary new eVolve Series powered by Torqeedo’s Ultra light 402 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 (Drive Well or Rudder Mount) to slip into your existing Hobie kayak.
Quietly slip through the bass-choked shallows… Give your muscles a break during a lengthy bay cruise… Introduce a non-paddling friend to kayaking with power…
The choice is yours. And with Hobie’s new eVolve, you have more choices than ever.
The entire Evolve Motor kit is so lightweight that the Battery, Motor and Prop combined weigh less than a normal deep cycle battery used in most kayak applications. The Lithium Manganese Battery is extremely safe and so light that it floats.
The entire system is completely waterproof when the motor and controls are connected and also when disconnected.
LCD Display on the throttle control monitors your battery usage and displays that info as remaining range as well as showing your current speed utilizing GPS technology.
