Difference between 2 DC motors (2 replies)

Ive a pretty sound electrical/electronic background but i'm a little confused between the specs of 2 motors.

One motor is rated 12v @ 80 amps, speed 4100 rpm
The other motor (from the plate) says 24v 5100 rpm 4 amps 350w (?)

The first motor was used for starting model aero engines, larger sized via a rubber coupling. So using the data on the plate, this motor would be rated at 960 watts. However the other motor says 350 watts, but only 4 amps, a Chinese typo? The second motor, the 24v one was used in a 4mph mobility scooter.

However, the confusing thing is that the 'theoretically' more powerful motor, the 12v one is about 10-15% smaller in physical size.

I want to use the more powerful one, but which one do i believe?

John
