Electric Rim Drive Motors: The Ideal Propulsion Solution for Unmanned Surface Vessels
Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) are becoming essential in modern maritime operations. They are used for
Unleash power with a maximum input of 2.5kW and a 24V nominal voltage, achieving over 90% efficiency. Immediate acceleration sets it apart, while a compact design and low weight ensures compatibility for small installations. With only one rotating part, maintenance is minimized. Enjoy versatility with clockwise, counterclockwise, and symmetric directions for every motor. Plus, all motors are completely waterproof with an IP68 rating, achieved by completely casting the motor not by using sealings. The design also minimizes risk of damage to the propeller, perfect performance in any environment.

With a battery capacity of 5 kWh, you have 1.5 hours at top speed, ideal for leisurely trips on the water.
This is a 6.5 meter sloop with a battery capacity is 2x 48V 60Ah.
This seaplane is capable of carrying passengers over water and trough air.
The robust design of the engines allows them to operate smoothly in polluted water and challenging conditions.
– The installation of a POD motor is a simple process that can be completed within one day.
– All materials are carefully selected to maintain optimal performance and endurance. However, this requires the use of an anode to protect the motor. For additional instructions please see the manual of the motor.
– No, POD motors require less maintenance than competitors thanks to their simple and robust design.
– Yes, if your boat needs two pod motors, a twin installation is possible.
– Our motor provides about 70% of reverse thrust, while many competitors offer only minimal power for reverse thrust.
The POD 2.5 stands out for its efficiency and ease of use. Thanks to its direct acceleration, the motor responds smoothly and precisely, making maneuvering easy even in tight spaces. The rim drive design contains only one rotating component, which limits wear and makes maintenance virtually unnecessary. In addition, this rim drive pod is fully waterproof with an IP68 rating, making it suitable for long-term use in both fresh and salt water. The result is a quiet, vibration-free boating experience with maximum reliability.
With an output of 2.5 kW, this pod motor is ideal for light to medium-sized boats. The POD 2.5 is widely used in small sailboats, tenders, sloops, and RIBs, but can also be deployed in professional projects such as small USVs (Unmanned Surface Vessels). For anyone looking for a pod motor for a boat that is compact, quiet, and energy-efficient, the POD 2.5 offers the right solution.
The POD 2.5 is designed for easy and safe installation. Thanks to its plug-and-play design, the motor can be integrated into both new and existing vessels. You can mount the motor using strong stainless steel bolts on a stable mounting bracket. Using a thread-locking compound such as Loctite and tightening the bolts to the correct torque ensures a secure installation. The electrical connection is made via shielded cables to the motor controller and batteries. For safety, fuses and an emergency switch are required. This makes the installation reliable, safe, and efficient.
Electric boating with the POD 2.5 means emission-free and sustainable operation. Because no oil or seals are required, the risk of leaks is eliminated. This electric pod motor prevents emissions and contributes to quieter, cleaner waterways. Rim Drive Technology is also a COâ‚‚-neutral company committed to sustainable innovation in the maritime sector. With the POD 2.5, you choose both performance and an environmentally friendly future.
Are you looking for a reliable and compact pod motor? The POD 2.5 combines power, efficiency, and ease of use in one compact drive. Discover the benefits of electric boating with a rim drive pod and experience how quiet and low-maintenance our pod motors are.
