Customer Reviews for VEVOR Electric Trolling Motor, Transom Mounted Outboard Boat Motors 12V 55lbs Thrust, 8-Speed Electric Boat Engine w/ Battery Indicator, for Kayaks, Fishing Boats on Freshwater/Saltwater, 30-In Shaft

The price was good, the weight is good, unfortunately I think the prop is unbalanced it vibrates and shakes so much it resonates thru the bass tender, we replaced a minn Kota 70 powerdrive and may go back I thought the extra power and less weight would help but after just an hour on the water my arm was messed up from the shakes. No amount of adjustment helped, upon inspection the prop is secure but you can see it's nowhere near properly balanced. Also blade material is beyond cheap...

Never used it. Mounting clamp won't fit 2.25: transom. Newport vessels will and is a quality motor. This is very low-end

Motore non funzionante dopo il secondo utilizzo e impossibile contattare il servizio clienti .

Stopped working after a few months

Very disappointed – failed after only 2 uses I purchased this VEVOR trolling motor around June 2025 and have used it only twice. The first time was just a short test. During the second use, it worked normally at first, but after being stopped for about an hour, it completely stopped working. The battery is fine and the battery indicator still works. When turning the propeller by hand, there is a noticeable grinding noise and the propeller is very difficult to turn, which strongly suggests a mechanical/bearing failure. I contacted VEVOR technical support, but 4 days have passed without any response. A motor that fails after only two uses is extremely disappointing, and the lack of response from customer support makes the situation even worse. I hope VEVOR will finally respond and resolve this issue. At this point, I cannot recommend this product. https://youtube.com/shorts/ytlTjXbgw80

Purchased in late November. Did not use until June. So far the motor has failed twice. Used to power dingy to shore. Arrived at shore, parked and stopped motor. Would not restart. Left dingy for a couple hours and then motor worked just fine (same battery). This has happened twice. Took the head apart no issues. I am thinking there must be a thermal switch in the motor itself. Both failures were after running the motor at full power for at least 20 minutes.

On the second time using the motor It intermittently would not engage the prop, the battery gauge was lit up but when you turned the handle nothing would happen. I would have to pull the handle out and in a few times to get it to work and that happened three or four times. But my biggest issue is with the customer service, after taking a number of days to get back to me on the issue They told me they could give me $69 and keep the motor which of course does not help me at all, I refuse and told them I'm on a day full refund and then after another day or two they said that they give me $129 and keep the motor which again is useless to me. In the last email that I got even though I was still wanting a full refund they said they would send me a replacement so at this point I was sick and tired of going back and forth and I agreed to the replacement. It's quite obvious what they're doing with trying to get you to take the cheapest possible option for them. In the future I will be quite weary of buying items from them based on that customer service.

When the extendable handle breaks off, you’ll need to superglue it. At the beginning of the 2nd summer, I find out 4 of my 7 gears don’t work. Cheap Chinesium - you get what you pay for

ne fonctionne pas et aucun retour pour un remboursement

Speed selection failed in first month after very limited use. Only 1 speed works in reverse and 2 of 5 speeds in forward. What few remaining speed selection that work are pretty much max speed. Not impressed. Too much of pain to return.
