The big advantages of this engine are that it's easy to use, doesn't cause any noise: it's very quiet, and above all there's no need to add fuel or carry out any special maintenance [...] Financially, it's very attractive.
Momentum has positioned itself in the electric outboard motor segment compact and powerful, With a range designed for tenders, small pleasure craft and light commercial use.
The U-2 (2.5 kW), M6 (6 kW) and M10 (10 kW) models cover all the main needs, from small lightweight tenders to fast tenders and coastal workboats.
The aim is to offer electric motors silent, easy to transport, simple to install and use, It also provides a sufficient level of power for daily port-anchorage journeys or busier shuttles.
Canet Boat Plaisance is a local partner for these electric motors:
The dealer also provides after-sales service and battery monitoring, to guarantee the long-term performance and range of your electric motorisation system.
A Momentum electric outboard motor is a 100 % electric propulsion system. specifically designed for nautical use, and not an adaptation of an existing thermal block.
→ The base is a engine brushless powered by a lithium battery high voltage, driven by power electronics optimised to deliver instant torque and high very progressive control.
→ The whole package forms a compact electric outboard motor, incorporating shaft, base, propeller and generally a tiller drive ergonomic.
Depending on the model, the architecture can integrate the battery directly into the motor (case of U-2) or rely on an external battery (U-Series / MB-6) connected to the motor via waterproof cables and connectors.
This configuration allows several batteries to be combined in parallel to increase range when required, particularly on professional tenders or workboats.
Momentum electric motors are for
The Momentum M10 develops 10 kW, i.e. a power output close to twenty hp, which positions it as one of the world's most powerful motorcycles. electric outboard motor for fast tenders, yacht tenders and small craft with displacements of up to several thousand kg.
It offers plenty of thrust, with instant torque to quickly lift a well-designed tender or propel a small, loaded workboat.
Despite this power, the design remains compact and can still be installed on the standard transom of many rigid enclosures.
The M10 is particularly well suited to applications where speed and responsiveness are important criteria, such as shuttle services or coastal operations where journey times count.
On a sailing boat, it can play the role of very comfortable auxiliary engine for entering and leaving harbours or for getting out of light winds.
Combined with an MB-6 battery, this electric motor offers a good compromise between performance, range and the overall weight of the drive system.
The Momentum M6 is a 6 kW motor that is more powerful than conventional small electric outboards, making it ideal for fast dinghies and small planing boats. It is suitable for heavier family tenders, service tenders or small workboats that have to carry equipment or several passengers.
This electric outboard motor generally accepts different shaft lengths to suit the transom height of your tender or boat.
The M6 weighs enough to be handled by just one trained person, making it easy to launch and store out of season.
Coupled with a U-Series or MB-6 battery, this electric motor has a good torque reserve. for quick starts, manoeuvring in port and faster shuttles than with a small entry-level model.
It will suit both the demanding homeowner and the professional looking for a high quality product. robust electric motor for repeated journeys.

The Momentum U-2 is a portable electric outboard motor from’approx. 2.5 kW, This is generally presented as the equivalent of a 3 to 5 hp combustion engine, depending on the load and hull.
Its special feature is that it incorporates a removable lithium battery in the motor head, making it much easier to install on a tender. This brings us closer to the logic of the “Travel” systems already on the market, with a compact, lightweight, easy-to-transport motor + battery package.
The overall weight is kept to a minimum, allowing the U-2 to be handled with just one hand, for installation or removal from the tender's transom.
On a small inflatable or semi-rigid dinghy with 1 or 2 people on board, this electric motor offers a high level of performance. comfortable travel speed for port to anchorage journeys, This means that the car can be driven at high speed, while maintaining a good range at moderate speeds.
It's a particularly good choice for occasional use or for owners who want to avoid the constraints of a combustion engine (petrol, oil changes, noise) while retaining a plug-and-play solution.
The MB-6 and ME-1 batteries are high-energy lithium ion batteries dedicated to the Momentum range of electric motors. These batteries use modern Li-ion cells with a integrated electronic management (BMS) to secure charging, discharging and temperature.
The MB-6's claimed service life exceeds 1,500 cycles 80 % of remaining capacity, which for ancillary use represents several years of service with good charging and storage practices.
The formats are designed to fit into existing fuel boxes or into reduced technical volumes, making it easier to integrate them into annexes already in service.
For a professional who makes one journey after another, it is possible to create a multi-battery set to increase autonomy or provide a back-up battery.

Around the electric motor, Momentum supplies dedicated accessoriesThese include chargers adapted to the battery pack, reinforced cables, waterproof connectors and mounting brackets. These accessories ensure safe recharging, good heat dissipation and maximum life for the electric drive system.
There are also additional control accessories :
A complete pack of motor + battery + charger + accessories ensures perfect compatibility between all components, This avoids wiring and electrical sizing problems.
Momentum electric motors are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them easy to handle on board a tender.
Being able to transport the electric outboard motor and battery separately reduces the effort and risk involved in repeated launches.
The instant torque offered by electric motors for smooth starts, precise manoeuvring and fine control at low speeds, particularly in congested ports.
Silent operation is another major advantage: no combustion noise, no petrol smell, and very limited vibration. For family outings, fishing or commuting early in the morning or late at night, this comfort is appreciable and enhances the onboard experience.
Maintenance is reduced. No oil changes, no spark plugs, no fuel to manage, and very few wearing parts compared with a combustion engine.
Finally, the absence of direct emissions onto the water means that we can access areas where combustion engines are restricted or banned.
Dinghies are the ideal playground for electric outboard motors: short but frequent trips, sensitive harbour environments, the need to be able to rely on your motor at all times.
Most homeowners are looking for a simple, clean engine, easy to start and store Momentum electric motors are particularly well-suited to meeting these criteria.
The U-2 is often sufficient, while offering real comfort of use in relation to the trainset.
With family, equipment or supplies, the M6's superior power and torque reserves are attractive.
The M10 is ideal for maintaining high speeds over longer distances. It's a good solution for more demanding use.
In all cases, the absence of a petrol jerrycan, the increased safety and the simplicity of instant starting are major practical advantages for everyday use.
In addition to the annexes, these electric motors are ideal for small pleasure boats for day trips, coastal cruises or light water sports.
Sailing electric means you can enjoy the scenery in peace and quiet, with no smoke or constant background noise, which really changes the atmosphere on board.
The ability to move silently, at low speed and with precise control is a decisive advantage if you don't want to spook the fish.
A Momentum engine can be used as an auxiliary engine for harbour manoeuvres, anchoring out or securing a windless area.
For service shuttles or transporting equipment over short distances, Momentum's electric drive reduces operating costs and respects sensitive port or natural areas.
Compared to an internal combustion engine, a Momentum electric outboard motor offers significantly greater comfort:
Intuitive to useA potentiometer or tiller allows precise power metering, without the need for a choke or complex starting procedures.
In economic terms, the electricity consumed generally remains less expensive to run than petrol, Maintenance is limited to a few regular checks.
In terms of safety, no more handling fuel cans reduces risks leaks, flammable vapours and accidental pollution.
Electric motors do not emit exhaust fumes into the water, which means that they can be used in a wide range of applications. compatible with strictly regulated areas on internal combustion engines.
For a yachtsman, this engine represents a calmer, cleaner choice that's easier to manage over the seasons.
The range of a Momentum electric outboard motor depends mainly on three factors: battery capacity, sailing speed and the hull profile of the tender.
At moderate speed, a U-2 with an integrated battery can provide several hours of navigation, At full power, the range is logically reduced, but remains sufficient for conventional port-wet shuttles.
On M6 and M10 engines combined with an MB-6, typical use often involves sailing at partial throttle, which optimises running time while retaining reserves for occasional acceleration.
Recharging times depend on the charger: a suitable 72 V charger can recharge the battery in a few hours using a shore power outlet standard, which is well suited to everyday use in season.
Some owners choose to keep a second battery available for intensive days or professional use where the annexe runs almost continuously.
At Canet Boat Plaisance, the battery + motor sizing is studied with you according to your programme (number of trips, distance, desired speed, safety margin).
Choosing a Momentum electric outboard motor for your tender starts with the’boat analysistype of tender (inflatable, semi-rigid, rigid), length, width, load capacity and empty weight.
We then add the weight passengers, materials and equipment to estimate the maximum realistic load.
From there, the required motor power is determined depending on the level of performance required: simple movement at low speed or fast attachment.
The next step is to choosing the engine model :
Next comes the battery selection U-Series or MB-6 and the appropriate charger, taking into account the desired range and recharging options (at the port, at home, possibly using alternative sources).
Canet Boat Plaisance can also help you with’physical integrationThese include the position of the engine on the transom, cable routing, ventilation of the enclosures and protection against splashing water.
Maintenance of a Momentum electric outboard motor is limited to a few simple gestures :
The battery should be stored in a dry, ventilated place away from extreme temperatures and recharged regularly. to preserve its service life. By following these best practices, an MB-6 battery can achieve several hundred or even more than 1,500 cycles with a still high useful capacity.
Budget-wise, you need to consider the overall cost of the system: motor, battery, charger and installation.
Although the initial investment is higher than that of a small internal combustion engine, the savings in fuel, the absence of numerous maintenance operations and the longevity of the battery gradually compensate for this difference.
For a professional who uses his tender intensively, the total cost of ownership over several seasons is particularly favourable to electric motorisation.
