"Waypoint had a motoring voltage of 146. You cannot use 50A per motor to convert to KW as 100A is the maximum current of both shafts combined."
But you can say that Waypoint has a total power of 14 kW or 570 kg/kW, if the weight is correct. The diesel 410 has 60 hp which suggests 20 hp equates to about 4.5 kW. This adds credence to Re-e-powers claims and detracts from Frey.
