Lightweight, silent, and surprisingly powerful, the Torqeedo Travel Ultralight (1421-00) gives paddlers, anglers, and micro-boat users an electric motor that does not compromise. With a direct-drive 1,100 W motor (about 3 HP-equivalent), it is purpose-built for kayaks, canoes, and very light boats, delivering smooth, eco-friendly propulsion with no noise and no fumes.

Key Features

1,100 W continuous input power (~3 HP-equivalent) from a direct-drive motor with no gear reduction — quiet and low-maintenance.
Built for lightweight craft — kayaks, canoes, and very light boats where weight, balance, and stealth matter.
Remote throttle with backlit color display showing speed, power draw, battery status, and remaining range in time or distance.
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth for the TorqTrac / TorqView app: trip logging, maps, and updates.
GPS range estimation — projected range in both time and distance.
Solar-ready — works with a 180 W charger and can pair with solar charging systems.
Sealed, corrosion-resistant construction; ships with a weedless propeller.
Light motor system — about 21.6 lbs (9.8 kg) including mount, cables, and remote.

Will It Fit Your Kayak or Canoe?

The Travel Ultralight is not a transom-clamp outboard. Instead, it mounts to kayaks and canoes using the Torqeedo Ultralight mount, which attaches to the hull and lets the motor pivot and steer from the remote throttle. Torqeedo designs it to fit a wide range of kayaks and canoes; many popular fishing and touring kayaks have purpose-made adapter plates available. When installed, the top of the propeller should sit at least about 2 in (5 cm) below the bottom of the hull so the prop stays fully submerged. Because it is built for very light craft, it is not intended for heavy displacement or planing hulls — use it where load and drag stay moderate. If you are unsure whether it fits your specific kayak or canoe, contact us and we will confirm before you buy.
