TEMO Launches TEMO 1000 Electric Outboard in North America

TEMO announced it will release its new TEMO 1000 in North America at the Annapolis Boat Show on April 25,2025, following on the success of its 450 electric outboard released in 2018. “The innovative tubular design of the 450 is ideal for smaller vessels,” says TEMO Co-Founder and CEO Alexandre Seux. “The 1000 offers more power for larger boats and needs more flexibility in propeller positioning. That’s why we went for a more classical form with the 1000 featuring an adjustable shaft height.” 

The 1000’s increased power makes it ideal as auxiliary propulsion for lightweight sailboats and the retractable tiller handle stows away when not in use. “The slimline transom bracket allows the height of the motor to be adjusted to exactly suit the height of  the boat’s transom,” explains TEMO Co-Founder and General Manager Justine Perussel. “Long and short shaft versions are therefore no longer required and owners of small boats that are kept on a mooring no longer need two separate outboards — you just swap the one from the dinghy to the bigger boat and vice-versa.” 

TEMO-USA launched in Portland, Maine, last April with Nicholas Steenberg at the helm, and has since grown a national network of dealers and reps. 

“We love the fact that the TEMO products have very few parts and are easy to repair and support,” says Bridget O’Brian, who is the co-owner of North Atlantic Inflatables of Maine with her husband Rob O’Brian. “With the 1000, we think our clients will go for the retractable tiller, which is perfect for sailboats. The adjustable shaft length means one motor will work on both a dinghy and larger transom sailboat. The super lightweight motor and battery (33 pounds) makes it easier for anyone to use and  move.”
