European electric boating brand Remigo has just pulled the wraps off its next-generation outboard motor, the RemigoOne Neo. Building on the success of the original RemigoOne, the Neo brings a mix of extra power, intelligent controls, and refined design to the lightweight electric outboard market.
The biggest upgrade comes in the form of a new boost mode that lets the Neo deliver up to 1,500 watts of power, which they say is roughly equivalent to a four-horsepower gas outboard. We’ve seen that before, where compact electric outboards are capable of matching the performance of higher power gasoline-powered outboards for small vessels.
That extra kick is designed for the moments when boaters need to fight strong winds, currents, or simply get a heavier vessel moving. The boost lasts for 60 seconds before dropping back to the standard 1,000-watt cruising level, but a tap of the forward button instantly reactivates it, making continuous operation at full power possible.
“The boost mode gives skippers an extra gear when they need it, without wasting battery on marginal gains the rest of the time,” said Remigo CEO Marko Vrtovec. “The difference between 1 kW and 1.5 kW is minimal while cruising, but when you need that burst of torque and acceleration, it’s right there.”
Depending on the hull design, boost mode is apparently capable of propelling boats at speeds of up to 5.5 knots (10.5 km/h).
Despite the added punch, the RemigoOne Neo remains one of the lightest electric outboards in its class. At just 15.5 kg (34 lb) with its integrated 1,085 Wh battery, or 13 kg (29 lb) without the mounting bracket, it’s designed for easy carrying and quick setup. That makes it an appealing solution for tenders, dinghies, and recreational boats up to 1.5 tons. Boaters can easily remove it from their transom and carry it with them while the boat stays at the dock or marina.
The new propeller design promises quieter, smoother, and more efficient performance, while Remigo’s unique blade-shaped housing continues to stand out visually. That same streamlined design also allows precise low-speed steering even when the motor isn’t running, helping boaters maneuver in tight spots without relying on prop thrust.
With the optional fast charger, the Neo tops off in around three hours, but it can also recharge from a solar panel or an external battery. That’s a useful feature for longer adventures or moored boats away from shore power. Controls are equally adaptable, with both handheld and tiller-mounted remotes available.
The RemigoOne Neo is rolling out now through Remigo’s international distributor and dealer network, where it is priced at €2,400 (approximately US $2,800).
