90 amps continuous current at 48 VDC
Can someone explain the differences in the two? There are some specs on the first motor that aren't listed on the second motor, such as "23 KW for 1 minute (600 amps DC) Peak @ 96 Volts"

The 180 amps continues and 90 amps continues are what jump out at me there, because even if you could run a higher voltage in that 2nd motor you are still limited by how many amps it can handle and that number is exactly half, so I suspect they use both a larger gauge wire and more of it, that would account for the extra weight in the same size case.
Being able to draw 600 amps peek at 96v is pretty good, twice the voltage of my car and around the same number of amps that I see if I floor it going up a good size hill, so I'm almost thinking you could get away with using that motor... 3 phase controller would be the only real draw back, they tend to cost more.
