Travel XP is the novelty recently presented by Torqeedo at Mets in Amsterdam. The German manufacturer of the iconic orange electric motors has unveiled the new family of its bestselling Travel model, now even more powerful and with longer range. The new outboard is available in four new versions, each dedicated to a different use.
The battery design is 100% plug-and-play-there are no cables or connectors to fix-just insert the battery into the housing and you are ready to go. The new tiller allows even more precise steering and also enables rapid operation of reverse gear.

This is the model most similar to the old Travel, but it has been redesigned and combines the 1,100 W (3 hp) outboard motor with a 1,080 Wh battery. The Torqeedo Travel Essential is an outboard suitable for dinghies, dinghies and daysailers up to 1.5 tons. Weight: 11.6 kg.
On this model we find the same features as the Essential Package but with a different mounting and conducting system, which makes it possible to reach even points with very limited draft by being able to change the Travel Ultralight angle easily, designed especially for fishing boats. It is also suitable for mounting on canoes and kayaks. Weight: 9.8 kg.
In the Range package we find a larger battery than the one installed in the standard model. As many as 1,425 Wh allowing for much more range and powering the electric outboard even longer. The Travel S is suitable for tenders, dinghies and daysailers up to 1.5 tons. Weight: about 12 kg.
The “Power” package of Torqeedo’s new Travel XP allows for the same battery as the Range package (1425 Wh), but in addition to using it for longer range, it is also used to power the more powerful motor, an impressive 1,600 W, about 5 hp of equivalent power. Also suitable for offshore sailing, and for pushing boats up to 2 tons, it has a weight of 12.6 kg.
