Benefits of electric boats
Are you ready to experience the water like never before?
Our electric outboards offer the perfect combination of performance and reliability
At RAD Propulsion we are redefining the future of the maritime industry on an individual and commercial level with our pioneering electric propulsion systems such as our innovative RAD 40 outboard.
We want everyone to be able to continue to enjoy the beauty of our waterways and the accompanying marine life. As such, we are motivated by the core values of environmental sustainability as well as optimal performance across the water. Our commitment is to utilise the benefits of electric boating to significantly improve the cleanliness of our waterways.

Smooth navigation
By using electric power, RAD electric outboards have the benefit of an instantaneous torque that delivers superior manoeuvrability. Unlike traditional combustion engines, this electric advantage translates to increased fuel efficiency and reduced wear in more challenging waters. Electric outboards also produce far fewer vibrations across the water, allowing for a smoother experience and less worries about damaging the boat.
Our electric outboards have the additional benefit of unmatched throttle control and drive-by-wire steering.
Environmental impact
Unlike traditional outboards, our advanced electric propulsion systems have the benefit of producing zero emissions and operate with a near silence. This translates to a significantly reduced ecological footprint that helps to preserve marine life and improve air quality, meaning that we can continue to access the most serene waters across the UK.
Improved safety
Electric outboards also have the benefit of enhanced user safety across the water when compared to combustion. Our clean and quiet motors are manufactured with a non-flammable and waterproof battery that eliminates any threat of engine fires. The commitment we have to safety is unwavering and this has been reflected in our choice to develop high-performance electric outboards.
Performance enhancement
In addition to pioneering a clean and sustainable outboard, our propulsion systems also benefit from the superior performance of electric. The RAD 40 utilises instantaneous torque for rapid acceleration and exceptional throttle response, with minimal vibration, enabling a dynamic and engaging boating experience.
Energy efficiency - how efficient is the electric boat?
Electric propulsion systems have the advantage of superior energy efficiency when converting electrical energy into mechanical power. For our RAD engines, this translates to extended range and reduced refuelling needs, ultimately promoting a more sustainable transportation model with a minimised energy footprint.
