Hobie Evolve V2 Motor Kit

Hobie Kayaks Evolve V2 Motor Kit

This brilliant German-engineered electric motor kit fits any Mirage Drive kayak and it comes with two mounting options—one midship, the other stern hung. With the Hobie eVolve, you can either maintain steady cruising speeds of two knots (motor only) for hours, or you can open the throttle for short sprints. Best yet, depending on your set-up, you can use the eVolve to augment your boat speed while also using your Mirage Drive. And thanks to its cockpit-mounted Remote Throttle, you always know how much juice you have left in the system’s 320 Wh Lithium-Manganese battery.

Runtime estimated as 8 hr 20 min at 2.6 mph / 48 min full throttle. If you thought the MirageDrive made kayaking sweeter, wait until you try the eVolve v2 system. The eVolve v2 offers increased battery capacity, longer range and solar charge / run capability. Life only improves with power.
