Can the Spirit 2 be used on an inflatable or RIB?

Yes, the ePropulsion Spirit 2 is an excellent choice for inflatable boats and RIBs (rigid inflatable boats). Its lightweight design—the motor weighs approximately 10kg and the Spirit Battery Ultra approximately 10kg — makes it easy to lift and mount, and significantly lighter than a comparable gas outboard.

Additional advantages for inflatable use include:

• No fuel or fumes — safe for use around inflatable PVC/Hypalon tubes
• Quick-release battery — the battery can be removed separately for easier transport and storage when the inflatable is deflated
• Silent operation — ideal for wildlife areas, anchorages, and marine parks where noise restrictions apply

Ensure your inflatable’s transom is rated for a motor of the Spirit 2’s weight. Most inflatables 2.8 m and larger with a solid transom are suitable.
