Comprehensive comparison of all 10 HP electric outboard motors
Here we offer you the most comprehensive comparison overview of all electric outboard motors with 6 kW (10 HP). In terms of speed, 6 kW is equivalent to 8 HP. However, due to the higher torque and efficiency, the thrust is comparable to 10 HP or 15 HP (depending on the model and propeller).
From the fast 10 HP motor for light inflatable boats and motorboats (planing) to electric motors for motorboats, houseboats, and sailboats up to 2-3 tons displacement, everything is included!
10 outboard motors compared! We hope this overview helps you get a general orientation. All prices include 19% German VAT. Of course, we deliver throughout Europe, and on request also to the USA / Canada.

Cheapest 6 kW outboard: BLADE Halo 10.0
The BLADE Halo 10.0 is expected to be the most affordable 6 kW electric motor on the market. Currently, the motor is still in development and is expected to be available on the market during 2026.
It's best to follow our German channel E-Bootsmotoren TV on YouTube to not miss any updates. Alternatively, you can follow the English channel greenboatsolutions TV.
The best 10 HP electric outboard motor for planing
In our opinion, the latest version of the Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 is currently the best electric motor for planing. Advantages include a well-optimized propeller and a slim motor housing.
Additional benefits include a color display with GPS and range calculation, as well as a modern and interactive app for your phone – through which you can also download updates.
The price is, of course, a bit higher than with ePropulsion or other brands, but in return you get a product made in Germany.
10 HP electric outboard with the best price-performance ratio
Our best-selling electric outboard with 6 kW is the ePropulsion Navy 6.0 EVO. The motor offers a really great price-performance ratio and is a genuine recommendation. The motor is very quiet and is virtually inaudible while driving.
The motor is mainly used for heavy boats up to 3 tons. A major advantage is the side-mounted throttle lever. The top throttle lever is a bit older, but it works perfectly—even with Bluetooth.
Brand new, matching propellers for light boats have been introduced—made of plastic and aluminum. We still need to test whether the performance can match that of the Torqeedo Cruise.
