I just became aware of a 2nd generation Evolve Motor. Any word on this? A Hobie Dealer gave me this information. Thanks |

Dealers were provided all of the details last week. Increased capacity from 230 to 320 watts. Increased range and runtime from 6 hrs to 8:20 at low speeds. Added a port to allow solar panel charging / running in the near future. The solar panel is not yet finalized, but will likely cost in the $1,000 range. The panel is said to charge the battery in about 6 hours or run the system at slower speeds. New eVolve v2 system will be available starting likely in May. |

Thanks Matt! I had heard the rumors but didn't give them much credit. Will the dealers have any specs and pics of the solar unit before release? I am interested in the surface area and mounting requirements. As large as the PA is I still manage to run out of space and electrical storage. My HB side imager eats batteries like cookies. |

I'm sure we will release info on a solar panel when it is finalized. I am told it still is going through testing in Germany. |
