LiTime Concludes Go Electric Contest Season 2

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- The initiative aimed to gather real-world stories and feedback from water explorers worldwide, focusing on the growing interest in electric solutions for small boats. Over the course of the contest, the campaign generated more than 1.5 million impressions and received hundreds of submissions from participants in 15 countries and regions.

Participants shared their experiences across various watercraft, including kayaks, inflatable boats, small fishing boats, Jon boats, and stand-up paddleboards. These stories highlighted the unique connection between people and the water while providing LiTime with valuable insights into the evolving needs of small-boat users. The insights will continue to support the company's efforts in developing more accessible electric boating solutions.

Serhii, a Canadian user, shared his journey from paddling to electric power. He started with nothing but paddles, then moved to a trolling motor powered by lead-acid batteries. Over time, he encountered common challenges, such as heavy battery weight, declining capacity, and limited confidence during longer trips. Eventually, he upgraded to a LiTime 12V 140Ah LiFePO₄ battery solution, which provided a lighter setup, more consistent power support, and improved confidence on longer outings.

Italian user Massimiliano DI GIAMBATTISTA also shared his expectations for transitioning from a gas-powered outboard to an electric solution. Using a 2.7-meter inflatable boat for nearshore fishing, he experienced challenges with gas outboards, including fuel odor, maintenance requirements, noise, and vibration. For his future electric upgrade, he hopes to achieve a simpler, quieter, and more enjoyable boating experience.

These experiences reflect the changing expectations of small-boat users who are looking for quieter, cleaner, and easier ways to enjoy time on the water. Building on feedback from the Go Electric Contest and ongoing conversations with users worldwide, LiTime introduced the Argoseeker electric outboard motor series. The initial lineup includes the Argoseeker A1, a 24V, 700W electric outboard motor designed for kayaks, canoes, inflatable boats, and lightweight small boats, and the Argoseeker A2, a 48V, 2,000W electric outboard motor designed for small-boat users seeking greater power and extended range capability.

By simplifying system integration, Argoseeker aims to make small-boat electrification more accessible and help more users transition from paddles, pedal power, or gas propulsion to electric exploration. LiTime will continue listening to users worldwide and refining the Argoseeker series based on real-world applications and feedback.

From paddle to power, LiTime is committed to advancing user-driven lithium power system innovation to make electric boating more accessible for more people. The company, which is trusted by 3.5 million users worldwide and brings 17 years of core-team R&D experience, 380+ certifications, and AIG Commercial General Liability Insurance with product liability coverage, is empowering people to explore with confidence while helping preserve the outdoor traditions, connection with nature, and shared memories passed from one generation to the next.
