Product Description

Partnering with the proven technology of Torqeedo, the new Helix MD motor drive is a step ahead in the world of kayak propulsion technology. The Helix MD Motor Drive is the first motor drive to be designed specifically—from shaft, to prop, to gearing, to battery—to propel a kayak. And thanks to its unique lithium battery and optimum torque, the Helix MD is substantially more powerful, smaller and lighter than trolling motors. With top speeds reaching up to 6 MPH at a range of around 20 miles and featuring a solar-rechargeable lithium battery that lasts up to 8 hours and can charge while underway, the Helix md motor drive simplifies the experience of kayaking by taking you farther, faster. The unit is lightweight at only 15 lbs. Including battery, and comes equipped with an intelligent remote throttle that displays your GPS-calculated speed, remaining range and battery Runtime. With fully variable forward/reverse functionality, Set the throttle to the speed you want and you're free to fish with two hands. Quiet, low-maintenance, and easy to integrate and use in compatible Wilderness Systems kayak models, the Helix md motor drive is an all-access pass for all kayakers of all ages.

Arrived with the battery connector broken off the battery so I can’t charge or use it. Not a great start. I was really excited to use it, pretty disappointing

5.0 out of 5 stars Gives me a lot of extra fishing time
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018
It changed the way I can fish. I can got further, I got to my spot in a quarter of the time and I don't have to worry about wind or strong currents. Add hours onto my fishing time. I also bought a high capacity battery from Torqeedo and it tripled my motor time. It doesn't fit on top like my stock battery but I put it on the hatch of my ATAK 120.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible product support

Motor stopped working on the second outing. Don’t bother calling wilderness systems, they will offer zero assistance. Torqeedo is also difficult; customer is presumed to be at fault until proven otherwise. Waited weeks for replacement controller, which probably will never work. I can’t wait to see the repair bill from Torqeedo.

2.0 out of 5 stars Leaks
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019
Its a very cool design and is efficient when it works. Customer service is a challenge as there are multiple companies involved. That being said once I got through to someone they helped me get more plugs at no cost. There is a gasket that seals between the motor head at the base of the unit and the main body. The gasket on mine herniated and let water in. Fortunately this didn't short the motor. Mine is well outside the warranty time frame. I sealed it up the best I could with LOADS of silicone to ensure that its sealed. For the price point and the problems I have had, I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Get a trolling motor set up. Its cheaper and probably just as efficient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018
Yes this little kayak motor is super cool… The battery is ultra lightweight and the charge last four hours… I’ve ran it into the wind on many long trips and has never failed me. Was really surprised at how quiet it is, and allowed us to sneak up on fish in ultra shallow water with the motor running.
