Yachting Monthly: Electric Outboard Tests

Yachting Monthly: Electric Outboards Compared

In June 2025, Yachting Monthly included the Remigo One in its comprehensive comparative test of 12 electric outboard motors, evaluating lightweight electric alternatives to traditional petrol engines for dinghies and tenders. 

The feature explains how advances in lightweight lithium battery technology and integrated designs have made electric outboards a realistic and practical choice for many boat owners. The test focused on motors with total weights similar to a 2.5hp petrol outboard, making them suitable for everyday use on inflatables, dinghies and small skiffs. 

Highlights from the comparisons include:

• Remigo One — Noted for its clean, integrated form factor that combines the motor and battery into a rudder-like housing. Its simple bracket mounting and intuitive control interface were praised for ease of use and storage. In testing, the Remigo One delivered comparable thrust to other models while standing out for its effective manoeuvrability and simplicity of setup. 
• Performance context — The article stressed how electric outboards now give boaters real alternatives to petrol, offering quiet operation with minimal maintenance and no fuel handling. The Remigo One’s design was highlighted as a good example of this trend, especially for operators who prioritise ease of use and hassle-free boating. 

Featuring Remigo in this head-to-head gear test alongside well-established brands reinforces how the product fits into the broader electric outboard landscape, showing real-world capability in relevant boating scenarios.
