Review: Bison electric motor - Brilliant piece of kit and pushers 2 man inflatable at nice steady pace, well made piece of kit Review: Speed test - I've been using this regularly for a month now and it works fine with a 100ah lithium battery on my 15 foot canoe along the river. I took my old satnav with me to test the speed and got about 1 mph in first, 2 in 2nd right up to 3.8 mph at full speed against the current, with the current it was about 4.8 mph. Much more relaxing and peaceful than my old 2 stroke outboard and without the worry of it starting. It weighs a fair bit fitting it on the side of my canoe so I balanced it with an old mud weight on the side! ## Features - Bison Neraus Series. Durable, reliable and more power for your money.

This would last 5-6 hours on the lower gears. **Q: Would this move a 20ft fiberglas cruiser? I wouldn't have to be quick.** A: I have seen a 55ft/lb model adequately take out from the jetty and bring in a 23' cruiser on an inland lake but only for manoeuvring into open water before deploying sails **Q: what battery do i need and where can i get one cheers** A: We recommend using an 85ah 12v leisure battery. You should be able to buy one on Amazon, or ebay, or pick one up in halfords or a caravan shop. **Q: if you used a 100ah battery would this increase the usage time by much thanks** A: yes the size of the battery in amp/hours is a bit like the size of a petrol tank in a car ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bison electric motor *by J***. on 26 July 2024* Brilliant piece of kit and pushers 2 man inflatable at nice steady pace, well made piece of kit ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Speed test *by G***. on 30 August 2022* I've been using this regularly for a month now and it works fine with a 100ah lithium battery on my 15 foot canoe along the river.

Does what it's supposed to do. Only 1 thing is that the tiller/throttle control feels like it could be built a little sturdier. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bison 55ft/lb 12v Electric Outboard Trolling Motor with Free Spare Propeller - Bison BATTERY BOX CARRIER WITH USB CHARGER, LED METER, BREAKER & 12V SOCKET - 12V 85AH SuperBatt CB22MF Leisure Battery Caravan Motorhome Marine Boat --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48502013-55lb-motor](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48502013-55lb-motor) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
