Electric powertrains for license-free rental boats and tenders
In Lyon, Rage Mechanics designs low-voltage electric propulsion systems for license-free pleasure craft, tenders, and small utility boats: motor, controller, battery, display, and fleet tracking.
The challenge for boat rental operators
On many lakes and rivers, internal combustion engines are increasingly restricted, forcing operators to switch to electric.
Off-the-shelf electric motors often fall short for heavier hulls or full-day rental shifts.
Rental operators entrust their boats to novice customers and must be able to monitor the state of charge and vessel health remotely, without stepping on board.
What Rage brings to recreational boating
A battery sized for a full day of rental, straightforward controls for novice clients, and RageLink fleet management to pinpoint exactly which boat needs charging.
| Boat | What Rage provides |
|---|---|
| License-free pleasure boat | Motor, controller, lithium battery, display |
| Sailboat or yacht tender | Motor, controller, compact battery |
| Assisted pedal boat | Motor, controller, battery |
| Fishing or oyster farming boat | Custom design study |
| Outboard or inboard replacement | Custom design study |
| Rental fleet | RageLink: charge monitoring, remote locking, reports |
When onboard space constraints or spray exposure demand it, we engineer a custom controller dedicated to your vessel, sealed and tuned to its motor.
Controls engineered for non-drivers
No marine projects have been published yet.
We programmed the controls for Alpenia's E-Clips wheelchairs for non-technical users, and electrified the Systemics Tuk-Tuk that completed the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
