Except for the spline shafts and different bolt pattern on the output side, It looks exactly like the NetGain Warp 11 motor. The motor was rated 13 hp @ 48 volts, 150 amps, 1800 rpm, class H insulation. Class H insulation is good for up to 356 deg. F and 600 volts or so. Generally the type of brushes in that motor are only good for about 78 volts. But I have been running 144 plus volts for 10000 miles and have noticed no abnormal brush ware. I did set my brush timing to 6 deg advanced to reduce brush arcing which works for my motor with the load it's under. Hope this was helpful.
