Is the difference between an 800W motor and a 1200W motor significant?

[DePaige]

The difference is significant. The differences are as follows: Different top speeds: An 800W motor can typically propel a vehicle to about 40 km/h, while a 1200W motor can reach approximately 48 km/h. Different magnet heights: The 800W motor has a magnet height of 27mm, whereas the 1200W motor has a height of 30mm. Different ranges: The 800W motor offers a longer range, while the 1200W motor provides higher speed but a shorter range compared to the 800W motor. Basic knowledge about electric vehicle motors: Under the condition of constant battery voltage, the higher the maximum current the motor winding can withstand, the greater the motor's power. A higher motor current implies greater heat generation, necessitating thicker wire diameters and shorter total wire lengths to reduce internal resistance. This allows the motor to handle higher currents. Therefore, motors with higher power generally have slightly thicker wires than those with lower power.
