Description
Rim Drive Technology believes in offering the total solution for every client within every market. From electric motor to battery, from throttle control to battery monitor.
A rim drive motor has some specific advantages in comparison to other (electric) motors:
Unleash power with a maximum input of 8.0kW and a 48V nominal voltage, achieving over 90% efficiency.
Immediate acceleration sets it apart, while a compact and lightweight design makes this product truly ideal for the most space-conscious installations.
With only one rotating part, maintenance is minimized.
Plus, all motors are completely waterproof with an IP68 rating, achieved by completely casting the motor not by using sealings. After finalizing the production process a rim drive POD motor is consisting out of only eight parts without any sealing needed.
Enjoy the symmetric motors for optimal integration.
The design also minimizes risk of damage to the propeller, perfect performance in any environment.
Motor controller is included.
