Let’s meet in 2025 and explore electric propulsion!
The future of boating is electric, and we’re excited to be part of the journey.
Rim Drive motor is the most simplified motor design which is ever made. But don’t confuse simplified with less powerful. 97% of the applications doesn’t require high speed capabilities. In general high efficiency is needed at cruise speed to guarantee a full-day of pleasure. Up to medium speeds a rim drive is the most efficient propulsion solution available in the market.

Our Rim Drive motors are entirely designed and developed in the Netherlands. They contain no oil, seals, or O-rings, which minimizes the risk of leaks or wear. Thanks to the unique design—without a central shaft—ropes or fishing nets are less likely to get caught in the propeller. The motor consists of only one rotating part, significantly reducing maintenance.
The immediate acceleration allows for quick and smooth maneuvers. In addition, our motors are more efficient at low to medium speeds than conventional electric motors. This makes them ideal for electric boating with an extended range.
At Rim Drive Technology, we are building a sustainable future. We are CO₂-neutral and support initiatives such as Trees for Free. Our mission is to make electric boating accessible to everyone, from leisure boaters to professional users.
