ThrustMe Cruiser electric motor for packraft and kayak

This is the ultimate way to get propulsion assistance on your paddling and fishing trip!

ThrustMe Cruiser electric motor for kayaks, canoes and SUPs is now finally also possible to mount on packrafts thanks to Rodrig Flex! This provides, for example, completely different possibilities for efficient trolling from packrafts. This unique electric motor was developed in Norway and can be used on all packrafts, kayaks, canoes and SUP boards. With large battery capacity, good power and operational reliability, ThrustMe sets a completely new standard for electric propulsion. Here you get an electric motor for paddlers that meets both requirements for range, charging time, power, ease of use and safety. After testing the ThrustMe Cruiser on boats, we were quickly convinced - easy assembly, easy operation, and fantastic thrust! At the highest speed (speed 6), you will cruise silently forward at about 10 km/h, and at the lowest speed about 2–3 km/h depending on the type of boat. The motor with battery weighs only 3.3 kg, and is easily attached with a tightening strap on the deck. Assembly takes less than 1 minute, and the whole thing feels very stable and compact. ThrustMe takes up relatively little space on the deck, and during the paddle trip it can be easily tilted up and down in the water. The speed is regulated with a small remote control that can be attached to the motor or to the paddle.

Mounting on packraft
Mounting on a packraft is even easier. The Cruiser is then attached directly to the Rodrig Flex using 3 quick-release fasteners. The rod holder is placed on the side so that you can troll effectively with, for example, wobblers, lures or groundbait.

Fishing from kayaks and packrafts is now much more efficient than before. Just set the engine to the lowest speed and you can troll silently for hours while waiting for the fish to bite...
