The Flowstar Series electric outboard motor showcases a streamlined design with smooth, clean lines, embodying a cohesive and futuristic aesthetic. Compared to similar products on the market, it stands out with its innovative and distinctive appearance, exuding a sense of advanced technology and dynamic speed that aligns perfectly with contemporary tastes.

The ergonomically designed hollowed-out handle ensures easy single-handed portability, highlighting the product's lightweight and practical nature. Its foldable design allows users to effortlessly rotate the tiller assembly horizontally and fold it downward for compact storage, significantly enhancing ease of use and storage convenience.

This outboard motor, tailored for small vessels, integrates electric propulsion and communication capabilities. It features an industry-leading high-efficiency, high-power-density three-phase AC permanent magnet direct-drive motor paired with advanced FOC (Field-Oriented Control) vector control algorithms, delivering robust performance and enhancing system efficiency. The direct-drive design combined with stepless speed regulation technology eliminates the gearbox structure, streamlining maintenance and optimizing overall performance.

Equipped with an LCD display, this outboard motor supports real-time monitoring of operational data and vessel status. The screen brightness adjusts automatically to ambient lighting conditions for optimal visibility. Integrated Bluetooth, NB-IoT, and GPS positioning systems enable users to view travel time, remaining range, battery level, power, and voltage through the companion app, providing comprehensive insights into vessel performance.

The intelligent interaction features extend to fleet management applications, allowing administrators to easily track vessel locations, remotely monitor operational status, and perform route tracking via PC or mobile devices. Future developments include a rental module for calculating rental hours and leveraging data analysis to streamline fleet management, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

This outboard motor is powered via a battery connection cable and incorporates a precision-engineered mechanical structure with a reliable electrical connection rail positioning system. This design streamlines the battery installation and removal process while the precise positioning mechanism effectively prevents battery movement or disconnection during operation, ensuring a stable and secure power connection. Additionally, the motor features multiple built-in safety protections, including overheat, overcurrent, and overvoltage safeguards, enhancing operational safety and prolonging battery lifespan.
