Electric motor specs

QUESTION
220 volts 4000 rpms 12 amps
Are these the specs of an electric motor strong enough to propel an electric motorcycle?

REPLIES

12 amps x 220 volts = about 2.5 kW input electric power, i.e. around 3 horsepower.

Do you want it to keep up with traffic? Or is this one of those traffic-clogging e-bikes that can’t get out of their own way?

Above is a snippet.

You could walk faster, but it is enough for a scooter or skateboard to propel itself.
