Vaquita can be used with nearly all kinds of SUPs, kayaks, canoes, as well as most other small-sized boats. Two Vaquita standard adapters suit two popular fin boxes in the market, so Vaquita can be easily connected to most SUPs, kayaks or small boats with a proper fin box. For those without a fin box, Vaquita universal adapter solves all the mounting problem.
This 300wh lithium-ion battery weighs only 2.5kg, having an energy density as high as 120wh/kg. Besides, the battery is so small that it can even be placed on your palm without much effort. Small and light though, it supports 1.1-hour operation at full-speed of around 8km/h, redefining what is “small but mighty”.
The wireless remote controller enables stepless forward speed control and emergency stop. Push forward the throttle slide block to speed up smoothly or press the on/off button to stop the motor at once in emergency. The watch-like controller can be worn on wrist, attached to a paddle or just hold by hand for easy access.
Travel distance of SUPs, kayaks and canoes merely by paddling is very limited either due to physical fatigue or unpredictable environmental factors like currents or winds. Vaquita motorizes your SUPs, kayaks and canoes to take you further and go faster under these circumstances. At top speed of about 8.5km/h, Vaquita travels 9km for 1 hour. At low speed of about 5km/h, it lasts 9 hours, extending the travel range to 45km.
The super light Vaquita weighs only 4kg in total with Vaquita Motor weighing only 1.5kg and Vaquita Battery 2.5kg, so it is extremely effortless to transport, carry or store this product. Vaquita system also minimizes the occupied space on SUPs, kayaks or canoes, leaving more space for other stuff, like fish.
I just got back from an exploration of the Wekiva river. I ran the motor when rowing against the current and it was if if I were going downstream! At top speed I didn't need to row at all.
Best yet, even after running it for several hours, it still had 50% power left. This motor is terrific!
I went out for a sail in what was supposed to be 10 to 15 mph winds (on a Tiwal, 10ft long inflatable sailboat). We went about six or seven miles, turned around and started to come back. This is a 160 lb inflatable boat, with about 270 lb of people on it. Almost 450 lb!
The wind died on the way back. It was pretty bad. Between being dead and blowing in the wrong direction, we almost didn't make it home. If I didn't have the vaquito, I never would have made it!
I kept the motor at 50% speed to lengthen battery life. I used 80% or 90% for probably 10 minutes. Still, I came back with about three bars on the battery. Really glad I made this purchase! Thank you
