Lol:

The new YASA axial flux motor weighs just 28 pounds, or about the same as a small dog.

However, it delivers a jaw-dropping 750 kilowatts of power, which is the equivalent of 1,005 horsepower.

I feel like we’d need peak horsepower output of a small dog to truly understand this.

For all non Brits: 1 dogpower = 1005 horsepower It’s an imperial unit. You’re welcome.
