ABOUT US
Aquamot - an electrifying story since 2003
It all began with one man and a vision. Today, Aquamot electric boat motors are sold on seven continents and are in their second generation. Of course, not alone, but with a large network of employees, dealers, suppliers, and other companions. Together, they are the heart of the motor and a major reason for the steadily increasing success of Aquamot Electric Motors.
From vision to market leader
Since nobody met the high load and quality requirements for electric drives in shipping, Ing. Siegmund Hammerschmidt started his own production as a manufacturer of electric boat motors.
His high demands on the e-boat motors were immediately well received in the market. Quality is still a top priority in our company, which is why Aquamot is now the market leader for high-quality and emission-free boat motors.
Thanks to constant optimizations, the efficiency is now at the highest level. To find the right system for your ship, all components can be custom-made. As a full-range supplier, you receive all system parts for the boat electric drive, such as charger and batteries, from a single source.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the delivery time?
As the saying goes: Good things take time. Since our engines are produced after ordering and exclusively in our factory in Vöcklamarkt, there may be a waiting period of up to 3-4 weeks in the main season. However, exceptions always prove the rule and therefore we recommend contacting us in a specific case. Chargers and batteries, on the other hand, are usually in stock and can be shipped directly.
How safe are Aquamot electric boat motors?
SAFETY is a top priority for us! Therefore, numerous protection functions are integrated in an Aquamot engine system. From mechanical protection functions such as a predetermined breaking point of the fin in the event of ground contact, to electronic protection functions, such as overvoltage, undervoltage to avoid deep discharge of the batteries, reverse polarity protection, overcurrent protection, immobilizer, etc. All of this is part of the standards of an Aquamot engine. 8 years after the date of manufacture, the battery must be checked at an Aquamot Service Center to ensure your safety 100%.
How do I know which electric boat motor I need for my boat?
Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question. It all depends on your wishes and needs. In order to be able to perfectly reflect these in the engine, please contact us. We would be happy to advise you and find the right engine solution together with you.
What requirements do I need for an electric motor on my boat?
Thanks to our versatile product range, we can equip most boat types directly with our serial engine solutions. At the same time, however, we have also specialized in special solutions and are the contact for individual customer requests. Engines with no integrated battery also require storage space for battery & Co. Please contact us by email or phone with your request. We would be happy to advise you.
What is the difference between the Trend and Professional lines?
While the Professional-Line is geared towards professional shipping, the Trend-Line is perfect for recreational shipping. For example, numerous components in the Professional-Line are much larger (ball bearings, electronic components, etc.), so that they are designed to be even more stable. We usually recommend the Professional-Line from a usage time of > 200 days per year.

How often should the engine be serviced?
The engine is basically maintenance-free because it does not contain any wearing parts such as carbon brushes, gears or the like. Nevertheless, it is recommended to replace the seals preventively at regular intervals. This is highly dependent on the respective waters in which the engine is used.
How long is the warranty?
The warranty at Aquamot Electric Motors GmbH is 2 years.
