Product Overview
The Torqeedo Travel XS S delivers clean, quiet electric propulsion in a compact and highly portable format. Designed for 15 inch transoms, it provides thrust comparable to a 2 HP gas outboard while eliminating fuel handling, exhaust emissions, and engine vibration. Its 44V lithium battery integrates seamlessly using Click and Play connectivity, making setup fast and intuitive. Ideal for inflatable boats, yacht tenders, and electric-only lakes throughout Canada.
Performance Characteristics
Electric propulsion delivers immediate torque response without throttle lag. Unlike carbureted gas outboards, power delivery is smooth and linear across the throttle range.
Key advantages include:
• Instant torque at low RPM
• Reduced vibration
• Low acoustic output
• No cold start issues
• No fuel mixing or carburetor maintenance
The 10 x 6.5 WDL weedless propeller improves performance in shallow or lightly vegetated environments.

Intelligent Battery Management System
The integrated Battery Management System protects internal cells by regulating output under heavy load or high temperature conditions. Temporary power limiting may occur to protect battery health. Operating within moderate throttle ranges improves efficiency and maximizes service life.
To optimize performance:
- Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure before use.
- Operate at efficient throttle levels for longer journeys.
- Allow battery cooling during extended high-output operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use this text to share information about your product or shipping policies.
Is the Battery Removeable?
The battery detaches using Click and Play connection.
Can I use this motor in saltwater?
Yes, the Travel XS S is designed for both freshwater and saltwater use. The included shaft anode provides corrosion protection in marine environments. Rinse the motor and propeller with fresh water after saltwater use and inspect the anode annually for wear.
Is it suitable for 12 ft inflatables?
Only under light load conditions. Power may be limited under heavy loads.
Does the motor come with a warranty in Canada?
Yes, the Travel XS S includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty for private recreational use, supported through authorized Canadian dealers. Warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use conditions.
What maintenance does the Travel XS S require?
Minimal maintenance is required. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, inspect the propeller for debris or damage, check the shaft anode annually, and store the battery indoors during winter months. No oil changes, spark plugs, or carburetor service required unlike gas outboards.
Can I run the motor while the battery is charging?
No, the battery cannot be used while charging. For extended trips, consider purchasing a second battery to swap while one charges, effectively doubling your range and eliminating downtime.
Is the motor waterproof?
The motor and battery are rated IP67, meaning they are protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter depth. While designed to handle splashing and brief submersion, the units should not be stored underwater or subjected to prolonged immersion.
Can I charge the battery with solar panels?
Yes, The Travel XS S can be charged when paired with compatible solar charging systems
How does cold weather affect battery performance?
Battery capacity decreases in cold temperatures. At 10°C, expect approximately 15% range reduction compared to optimal 22°C conditions. At 0°C, range may decrease by 25-30%. Store batteries indoors and allow them to warm to room temperature before use for best performance in Canadian spring and fall conditions.
