Questions?
Yes, TEMO is 100% watertight with an IP67 rating.
(underwater for 30 minutes at 3ft depth)
TEMO will only float for a few seconds before it sinks. We offer a buoyancy kit as an accessory.
Yes of course!
Though TEMO is feather-light and fits in its travel bag, you can also leave it safely onboard. An optional anti-theft device secures it in place, and a magnetic safety key acts as a circuit breaker—no key, no power.
If you currently use paddles, oars, or small engine (equivalent to or less than 2hp) to power your boat, TEMO will fit your use case perfectly. It is 3 times more powerful than a single person rowing.
Generally speaking, TEMO will be able to propel boats up to 10ft with 3 people on board with equipment.
If you have any doubt, please contact us!
The speed of TEMO can be adjusted by squeezing the trigger. At full throttle, you will have up to 42 minutes of range, and up to 80 minutes at half speed.
