MINNKOTA CLASSIC 40 LBS ELECTRIC MOTOR

This is often measured in English pounds (lbs) or in Kw and not in horsepower like combustion engines. However, an approximate equivalent can be provided:
- 32 lbs / 0.40 Horsepower
- 45 lbs / 0.60 Horsepower
- 55 lbs / 0.80 Horsepower
The more thrust the engine has, the faster its maximum speed will be. However, the speed also depends on the weight and size of your boat. Example: a 2m30 pneumatic boat (45 kg) will achieve about 18km/h top speed with 55 lbs.

If you have a powerful motor and a battery that does not meet the requirements of the motor, you will able navigate at a high speed, but only for a very short time.
In fact, the autonomy is dependent on the current consumed by your electric motor and the power of your battery. Example: for an electric motor of 55 lbs consuming 70 A (at top speed) and supplied by a 110 Ah battery, an autonomy of about 1 and a half hours will be achieved.

Since 1934, the Minn Kota® company has been designing electric motors for anglers and is now the global leader on this market. Incomparably reliable, it is possible to see motors that have been in use for more than 15 years without undergoing any maintenance other than a change of prop. Performance and innovation characterise Minn Kota electric motors
The composite shaft shock absorber, the telescopic handles and the anti-algae props are the most striking benefits of these motors.

- Less maintenance than thermal
- Highly resistant over the long term.
- Lightweight
- Silent engine
- Electric technology is non-polluting
- Easy to use.
- Combustion engines are prohibited on increasing numbers of lakes and stretches of water due to noise disturbance and pollution.
