Torqeedo Travel XS - new version 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable and efficient.

My boat is a wooden boat about 4.5 m long. The boat is especially efficient between 100 and 500 W. Even with 50 W, the boat already goes 4.5 km/h – thanks to the large battery, I could travel up to 120 km this way!

The higher the power, the greater the water resistance. However, I am completely satisfied with the top speed of 11 km/h. All in all, it was a very good decision.

Travel time and range depend on the battery. In an example with the Travel S and the 1080-Wh battery on a 3.80 m inflatable boat, we measured the following values:

→ At full power, the Travel runs for about one hour. The speed in this case is around 8.6 km/h. Within this short time, a range of 8.5 kilometers could be covered.

→ At half power, the ride lasts for about a 2-hour trip on the water at a cruising speed of 7.6 km/h and a range of 14.9 km.

→ If you plan longer and more leisurely tours on the water, you can go much further with less power. At 1/4 power, a speed of 5.6 km/h was achieved for 4 hours. In total, a range of 22 km. And all that with just one battery charge.

The new 180 W fast charger ensures quick charging of the Travel batteries. The 1080 Wh battery is fully recharged within 6 hours and the 1,425 Wh battery within 8 hours – significantly faster than before, even with a larger battery. Impressive!

In displacement mode, the required power increases exponentially. If you want to double your speed, you need eight times the power. At the same time, you can greatly increase your range on your trip if you reduce your speed a little.

In addition, the "TorqView" app allows you to display all kinds of information and even a map. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are standard features, so you can easily connect to the TorqView app. You can use maps, trip logs, usage statistics, maintenance information, OTA updates, and other high-tech features.

Would you like to use your Travel on a boat with a tiller or steering wheel? On the accessories page, you will find an optional remote kit that allows you to connect your Travel to standard Teleflex steering.

Torqeedo is a German manufacturer and market leader in the field of electric boat drives. The idea for Torqeedo originated at Lake Starnberg due to bans on combustion engines. In contrast, boats with electric motors can be operated without worry.

At Torqeedo, special emphasis is placed on easy handling and safety. E-mobility on the water is also ideally suited for beginners in boating. The motors and batteries impress with high efficiency, as well as technical refinements such as the integrated onboard system. The manufacturer Torqeedo covers everything from the Ultralight 403 for kayaks to 140 HP engines for yachts, pod motors for sailboats, or hybrid systems.

The company is responsible for many innovations within the industry, such as the BMW i3 electric car battery made seaworthy in cooperation with BMW. Recently, Torqeedo has also added several models of electric boat motors with direct drive to its range, promising a silent driving experience.

Torqeedo was founded in 2005 and has been part of Deutz AG, a manufacturer of electric motors and machines, since 2017. The company, based in Gilching near Munich, sells Torqeedo products internationally and has a large service network. By the way, Torqeedo is made up of the English words torque and speed.
