What is Motor power?

In short

The rated power of a brand's motor in watts, a rough guide to climbing ability and speed rather than a promise of performance.

Nominal motor power is the motor's rated output in watts, measured under standard conditions rather than at full output. It is a fair guide to hill climbing and to how the scooter feels under load, though range matters just as much. Apollo covers the widest range of the brands here, 600 to 3,120, and Circooter follows at 1,000 to 2,400. AnyHill Electric Scooter states 450, Atomi 650 and AOVO Official 350. Higher watts usually mean more weight and a higher price.
