Our Story
TEMO is above all a vision of what the boating industry should be tomorrow: simpler, cleaner, and more innovative.
During a sailing trip around the world, passionate sailor Alexandre Seux came to a simple realization: boating deserves better than noisy, polluting, and cumbersome engines. From idea to action, Alexandre Seux and Justine Perussel founded TEMO in 2018 with the goal of creating an engine that would challenge traditional boating standards.
Surrounded by an agile team, they set out to rethink small boat propulsion through electric technology. Since then, the company has designed motors for all needs, offering power outputs ranging from 450 W to 3 kW, in outboard and Pod versions.
Each TEMO motor is designed with passion to deliver a more enjoyable and sustainable boating experience. Our patented motors recognized for their unique design and ergonomics have already won over more than 5,500 boaters worldwide.
At TEMO, innovation has a course, and people are at the helm.
