And the nice thing is that these advances have come with only a very minor increase in price (for example the price for the 1003 is only $100 more than the 801). I have one of these for use on my dinghy and as a backup for the main motor on the trimaran. In a pinch this motor can push Current Sunshine along at around 3 knots in calm conditions. → Read more…  At only 7kg the ultralight won't weigh down your kayak Torqeedo brings you the World’s first dedicated kayak motor.
