Two models debut: the 24V 700W A1 and the 48V 2000W A2, designed for kayaks, canoes, inflatable boats, and jon boats. The system integrates motor, controller, and LiTime LiFePO4 batteries, with a clamp mount installable in about three minutes.","whyItMatters":"LiTime's move from batteries to a bundled motor, controller, and battery package addresses the compatibility hurdles that have slowed small-boat electrification.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eLiTime\u0026#39;s Argoseeker series bundles the outboard motor, control system, and LiFePO4 batteries into a single package, removing the need to match voltage, output, and mounting method across separately purchased parts. The clamp-style mount installs in about three minutes, and a wireless remote with cruise control handles operation.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe A1 weighs 13.4 lbs and suits lightweight craft like kayaks and canoes, reaching 4.3 to 6.2 mph in tests with a 330 lb total boat weight. The A2 targets heavier boats and longer distances. Both run quietly with zero exhaust emissions, though LiTime positions the system as assistance rather than a full replacement for paddling.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArgoseeker A1\u003c/strong\u003e: 24V 700W, for lightweight boats, 13.4 lb motor\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArgoseeker A2\u003c/strong\u003e: 48V 2000W, for heavier boats and longer distances\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"LiTime's Argoseeker outboards bundle motor, controller, and LiFePO4 battery, with a 3-minute clamp mount.
