Fine tuning features on the U2

Electric Outboard has just posted another useful blog that goes into a bit more detail about some of the features that Momentum have built into the U2 electric outboard.

Many of these are designed to help fine tune use of the motor depending on the boat and the conditions.

The blog also links to the relevant tutorial videos produced by the Momentum team giving simple guidance on each feature.

Electric Outboard has recently posted a blog providing a quick overview of the key features of the U2 as well as the steps to get it set up on your boat. What's really useful is that it includes some links back to quick 'how to' videos that the team at Momentum have created.

Electric BayRaider Expedition - upgrade needed

BayRaiderPete — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:14:12 +0000

I currently have a BayRaider Expedition with an ePropulsion Spirit One and a Yamaha 6 short shaft but unfortunately the Spirit One just doesn't have the power we need in the Solent and we feel quite anxious with it so generally use the Yamaha 6. However we do want to move to electric fully but the Spirit one just can't cope so I'm looking to upgrade it.

Would the Momentum U2 fit? I've looked at the diagrams for the short U2 and that might fit - is it possible to test it?

U2 battery handle needs rounding?

We've had a customer ask about making the U2 handle more rounded to make it more comfortable for carrying longer distance.

This might be possible but will require significant retooling costs so is not being prioritised right now.
