Electric motor on kayak, canoe, sailing catamaran, motorboat

Just as with electric bicycles, electric propulsion is also experiencing particular popularity with boats. Effortlessly and silently covering long distances is what many people want. Grabner has long experience with this environmentally friendly drive. That is why 18 models in the Grabner boat collection are also designed for electric drive. On models with a stern board, the motor can be attached directly. A suitable motor mount is available for kayaks, canoes and sailing catamarans.
