Yeah, that looks like the floor burnisher part number. Based on the pics it seems to be a Motenergy motor, must be OEMed.

1.5kW at 24V is 62.5A. If you double the voltage, you will get 3kW continuous - seems like still quite far from your target.
I don't know if it requires it. You probably would get away with slight downrating, but how much does a "road going car" take ? I googled just now a Toyota Corolla - 139 to 169 HP, so over 10 times more than what you're looking at.
Here is the name plate from my forklift motor (still on the forklift 
) :

It doesn't say what amperage it's rated for, but the system is fused at 400A, so I imagine at least 300A is expected. It is currently on a 36V battery, so 11kW or so. Then from that you can calculate the power if you were to bump up the voltage in a conversion like people do...
Forklift is 5800lb with 4000lb lift capacity.

I want to say it's 10-11", but I can't get to it at the moment to measure. NOT SMALL for sure. Anyway, my point was that those big lift motors can deliver quite a bit of power under increased voltages given their current ratings.
Ya I understand what you mean. I see how the big motors can apply some real power. I'd like to find a 7" or so that can handle 200 amps. Then I'd be looking at almost 10kw peak which would be more than enough for me. I just wish it wasn't so difficult to find the specs on these things.
Is yours for a car build?

Some other folks may have a better answer to that, but personally I wouldn't hesitate to ramp it to 200-300A, especially if you add/use a temp sensor and cut back on overheating.
Are you not concerned about the fact that it is rated for intermittent duty?
I was showing you that motor just for the scale reference. Series wound motors just happen to be big and heavy while delivering little power compared to PM motors whether AC or DC. This specific motor I replaced with AC-23 in that machine, I don't have any upcoming projects for it.
Did you replace it because it was unreliable or not working well?

I don't understand why you need so much power to tow a roller. Is it round or rectangular? Towing at 30MPH?
More than 4 or 5 kW on a reduction chain/belt will just spin the tires.

Machine kept burning the controller, and I wasn't sure if there was an issue with the motor or my style of use was just outside of its capabilities. So I after I replaced the controller twice, I decided to decouple the drive into a separate system with a much more powerful motor. So original system had two motors - one drive motor, shown above, and another for hydraulic pump, while a single controller flipped between the two using contactors. Now the original controller only handles the pump motor, while the drive is on independent motor and controller.
I don't know either. I'm just going by the fact that the original engine was 12hp to 18hp depending on the model. That would be somewhere around 9 to 13kw. I know that electric motors provide more low end torque but I don't know how much different it would be.
