Travel models are suitable for inflatables and other small boats.

For sailboats up to 1000 kg we recommend the Travel 603. The Travel 1103 easily propels up to 1.5 tons.

Both models provide similar performance on the same boat at the same speed.

However, the Travel 1103 C has a higher maximum power and offers more battery capacity, providing longer range.

That depends on the solution you have opted for.

You could of course take a spare battery with you, which will ensure you can be on the move again immediately.

Or you could connect a solar charger (accessory) and charge it while you’re on the move.

Unfold or unroll the solar charger, apply its waterproof connector to the Travel and get started.

You can use it while being out on the water and while operating the motor or you can use it on land.

Two different solar chargers are available for the Travel, depending on the model year.

The life expectancy of lithium batteries in recreational use is, more or less, independent of charging cycles. There is no memory effect either, i.e. you can fully charge them after each trip irrespective of the charge status shown in the display.

Generally speaking, a capacity loss of approx. 4 % per year is to be expected. Capacity loss will, however, accelerate if the battery is permanently exposed to heat. Also storing the battery always fully charged will accelerate ageing. There are no concerns about using the battery in high temperatures, we recommend that you take the battery out of the sun and store it in a cool place after use.

Your battery must be returned to a Torqeedo Service Centre for service 8 years after the date of manufacture.

No, because we've integrated a temperature protection mode. Motor power is automatically reduced before the battery gets too hot until the temperature returns to a level where there is no risk of damage to the battery. This function is represented in the display with a thermometer.

The Travel 603 battery has a capacity of 500 Wh, which means 18 Ah at 29.6 V. For the Travel 1103 this is an impressive 915 Wh, or 31 Ah at 29.6 V.

With its emergency kill switch – very safe. The motor only runs when the emergency magnetic stop key is placed in the prescribed position on the remote throttle or tiller.

The magnetic pin should always be attached to your wrist or to your life jacket. Should you fall overboard, the magnetic key will go with you and the motor will stop immediately. This prevents the risk of injury from the propeller under water.

There is a two-year warranty on the Travel from the date of purchase.
