Fuber Global 1.5 Electric Outboard — Short Shaft

The Fuber Global 1.5 is a 1.5kW electric outboard designed for inflatables, tenders and small aluminium boats. Package includes the outboard motor, 1.2kWh 48V lithium battery pack (built into the removable top cover), tiller handle, and 48V charger — one box, plug-and-play.

How it stacks up against the competition:

Fuber Global 1.5 (us) — 1.5 kW, 1.2 kWh integrated battery, full IP67 whole unit, A$3,890.

ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus — 1.0 kW, 1.276 kWh integrated battery, waterproof head only, A$3,949–A$3,999.

Torqeedo Travel 1103C — 1.1 kW, 915 Wh separate battery box, waterproof head only, A$3,499–A$3,599.

Remigo One (Slovenia) — 1.0 kW, integrated battery, waterproof head only, A$3,995.

Wolong Flowstar 1.5 kW — 1.5 kW, separate battery box, waterproof head only, A$3,499.

Where the Fuber wins: 50% more continuous power than the two market leaders (Spirit and Torqeedo), full IP67 on the whole motor (not just the head), and the battery lives inside the top cover — no separate battery box to lug or cable up. One unit, grab and go.

Ships DHL Express — 7–14 days landed, GST-inclusive, no import duties. In stock at the factory now. Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty against defects.

Marine-grade build (where the Fuber pulls ahead of Haswing):

• 316 stainless steel shaft, prop shaft and hardware — not painted mild steel
• High-pressure die-cast aluminium lower unit with marine-grade anti-corrosion coating
• Sealed brushless motor housed in the lower unit — no exposed brushes to corrode
• Full IP67 sealing across the entire unit, tiller and battery cover — not just the head
• Sacrificial zinc anode fitted from factory for saltwater use

This is where the Fuber Global 1.5 genuinely out-specs the Haswing Ultima 3.0 — the Haswing is a great freshwater/estuary trolling motor at a sharp price, but the Fuber is built with the materials you want on the transom of a boat that lives in salt.

What the tiller display shows (real-time, at a glance):

• Battery state of charge (%) — big digits, sunlight-readable
• Remaining runtime at current throttle setting (minutes/hours)
• Current speed setting / throttle position
• Instantaneous power draw (watts) — so you can trim the throttle for best range
• Range remaining (km/nm) based on current draw
• Forward / reverse indicator
• Fault and over-temperature warnings with clear icons

The display is integrated into the tiller head — no separate gauge to wire, no phone-app dependency. Turn the key, glance down, know exactly what the boat is doing.
