About US
Aquamot - an electrifying story since 2003
It all began with one man and a vision. Today, Aquamot electric boat motors are sold on seven continents and are in their second generation. Of course, not alone, but with a large network of employees, dealers, suppliers, and other companions. Together, they are the heart of the motor and a major reason for the steadily increasing success of Aquamot Electric Motors.
From vision to market leader
Since nobody met the high load and quality requirements for electric drives in shipping, Ing. Siegmund Hammerschmidt started his own production as a manufacturer of electric boat motors.
His high demands on the e-boat motors were immediately well received in the market. Quality is still a top priority in our company, which is why Aquamot is now the market leader for high-quality and emission-free boat motors.
Thanks to constant optimizations, the efficiency is now at the highest level. To find the right system for your ship, all components can be custom-made. As a full-range supplier, you receive all system parts for the boat electric drive, such as charger and batteries, from a single source.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the delivery time?
As the saying goes: good things take time. As our engines are produced to order and exclusively in our factory in Vöcklamarkt, there can be a waiting time of up to 3-4 weeks during the peak season. However, as always, exceptions determine the rule and we therefore recommend contacting us in specific cases. Chargers and batteries, on the other hand, are usually in stock and can be dispatched straight away.
How safe are Aquamot electric boat motors?
SAFETY is a top priority for us! Therefore, numerous protection functions are integrated in an Aquamot engine system. From mechanical protection functions such as a predetermined breaking point of the fin in the event of ground contact, to electronic protection functions, such as overvoltage, undervoltage to avoid deep discharge of the batteries, reverse polarity protection, overcurrent protection, immobilizer, etc. All of this is part of the standards of an Aquamot engine. 8 years after the date of manufacture, the battery must be checked at an Aquamot Service Center to ensure your safety 100%.
How do I know which electric boat motor I need for my boat?
Unfortunately, there is no single answer to this question. It depends entirely on your wishes and needs. Please contact us so that we can reflect these perfectly in the engine. We’d be happy to advise you and work with you to find the right motor solution.
What requirements do I need for an electric motor on my boat?
Thanks to our versatile product range, we can equip most boat types directly with our standard engine solutions. At the same time, we also specialize in special solutions and are your contact for individual customer requirements. Motors with no integrated battery also require storage space for the battery etc. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail or telephone with your request. We’d be happy to advise you.
What is the difference between the Trend and Professional lines?
Whilst the Professional Line is designed for commercial shipping, the Trend Line is, in turn, perfect for recreational boating. Numerous components in the Professional-Line are much larger (ball bearings, electronic components, etc.), making them even more stable. We generally recommend the Professional Line for systems in operation for 200 days or more per year.
How often should the engine be serviced?
The motor is basically maintenance-free because it does not contain any wearing parts such as carbon brushes or gears. Nevertheless, it is advisable to replace the seals at regular intervals as a preventive measure. This depends very much on the specific body of water in which the engine is used.
How long is the warranty?
The warranty at Aquamot Electric Motors GmbH is 2 years.
