Re:Tiny electric motor can produce more than 1,000 horsepower by hinkley on Monday November 03, 2025 @02:32PM (#45803348)
Looks like it’s about 45 kg for a Tesla and 13 kg for this one. It at twice the horsepower. So maybe 8-10kg for a down rated model. IIRC, axial motors need their diameter to retain their efficiency advantage so a down rated one would likely be lighter but close to the same external dimensions.

But that’s still a lot less rotating mass, and might make multiple motors attractive again.
