Remigo Electric Outboards has redefined the standards of marine propulsion with the launch of RemigoOne, the world's first 1000W electric outboard motor in the form of a rudder. This innovation addresses common issues faced by boaters, such as weight, corrosion, and maintenance, by leveraging advanced technology and materials. The result is a product that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of modern boaters.
The unique properties of RemigoOne set it apart from traditional outboards. Weighing just 12 kg, it is the lightest in its class, making it easy to handle and transport. Its versatility is unmatched, suitable for any boat up to 7 meters or 1500 kg. The aluminum unibody design, rated IP67, ensures that all vital components are shielded from the harsh marine environment, significantly reducing maintenance needs and extending the product's lifespan.
RemigoOne's innovative mounting system simplifies the installation process, offering a safer and quicker solution for both the user and the outboard. The design team, including Tjaš Cvek, Valentin Koblar, Ajda Bertok, Jan Rudolf, and Marko Vrtovec, has meticulously crafted every aspect of the outboard to ensure durability, efficiency, and ease of use. The integration of premium LG battery cells, rated for 1000 cycles, promises longevity and the option for battery pack replacement with a system upgrade after degradation.
Operation of RemigoOne is intuitive and user-friendly. The outboard mounts effortlessly to the transom with a bracket, and a magnetic key activates the system. Boaters can navigate easily using two interface buttons, with the handle's pump action allowing for quick switching between steering, carrying, and locking modes. This design simplicity extends to the interface, where two indicators replace a traditional display, streamlining the user experience.
Developed and produced in Ljubljana, Slovenia, since 2018, RemigoOne was launched in 2020 at the Salone Nautico in Genova. The design process involved extensive research and engagement with key user groups, leading to a product that eliminates user pains and prioritizes fit over novelty or cost. The team's commitment to innovation is evident in the patented battery cells stacking method and the multifunctional tiller design.
RemigoOne is not only a testament to innovative engineering but also to the power of collaborative design. The team's dedication to creating a simple and frustration-free boating experience is reflected in every aspect of the product. With a slew of utility models and patents across various jurisdictions, RemigoOne's design is well-protected and recognized. Its recent Silver A' Design Award in Product Engineering and Technical Design Award in 2024 is a testament to its excellence and the positive impact it has on the boating industry.
