Good evening.
I am thinking of building an Amp Eater boat (a 13' stitch and glue boat designed for electric power) and am looking into suitable motors. I plan to use it on calm, non-tidal rivers and wonder whether motors from electric scooters will be suitable. An example that is fairly available here in England is below.
HMParts E-Scooter electric Motor 24V 500 W Model: MY1020
Electric motor
24 volt DC (direct current) 500 Watt
Rated Speed: 2800 RPM
Rated current: 28 A
Is this likely to be adequate to propel the boat a tolerable pace?
Regards,
James.
