Quick answers
Does it come with a battery?
Pick it above: with the Travel Battery, with the bigger Travel Battery XP, or motor only if you already have one.
What shaft is it?
Short shaft only, for a 15 inch transom. Tell us your boat and we'll confirm the fit.
How fast is it?
Torqeedo's test on a small 2.75 m inflatable hit about 7.5 km/h flat out. Range depends on which battery you pick. Call us and we'll walk you through it.
Do I need a licence?
No Pleasure Craft Licence is needed for this motor on its own. That starts at 10 hp (7.5 kW) of total power. Whoever drives still needs proof of competency, like a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Transport Canada counts electric motors too.

Return it unused within 60 days of delivery under our Rider's Guarantee. Winter orders start May 1.

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.
