The 5KW Brushless Kit featuring a Motenergy brushless motor and a 48V Sevcon Controller that can produce up to 5KW continuous and is often used to replace 10-15hp combustion engines. This system is best for boats up to 6,000 pounds displacement. All our systems have reverse on-the-fly and contactor disable features. "Brushless" means that the motor does not have brushes that will wear out over time, nor will it be a dangerous source of ignition for on-board gas appliances. Larger boats may require a higher power AC or brushless motor. In the U.S. and Canada, brushed motors are only legal for marine use if onboard appliances and accessories use kerosene or diesel (not propane or gasoline) due to the potential for internal motor arcing.

This bare bones kit is still powerful enough to give you chills. The programmable Alltrax controller is the easiest to wire and can easily be de-tuned for youngsters. Good for about 45mph. Reversing the motor direction on the fly will require a set of reversing contactors, or check out the next kit. Components only, no chassis. This kit comes with a 48v contactor (for a 48v battery pack) unless specified otherwise. Batteries sold separately.

Use this kit when you need forward, reverse and regenerative braking. Includes a small but powerful 48V brushed motor. You can use this on a smaller motorcycle as well. Components only, no chassis. Standard programming is for a 48v battery pack, which is purchased separately.
