Apr 23, 2026 - This Tiny 1000bhp 13Kg YASA Motor Cuts 200kg From EVs!



In this episode of Everything Electric TECH, we go inside ‪@YasaLimited‬ `s Oxfordshire “Super Factory” to explore a breakthrough that`s redefining EV performance: axial flux motors.
Unlike traditional electric motors, YASA`s ultra-thin “pancake” design delivers extraordinary power in a fraction of the size and weight. We`re talking up to 1,000bhp from just 12.7kg, and a potential 200kg weight saving across an entire vehicle thanks to smaller wiring, brakes and cooling requirements.
But how does it actually work?
Join Robert and Imogen as they get behind the scenes of one of the UK`s most exciting engineering success stories and see how this cutting-edge technology is already powering some of the world`s most advanced performance cars (read: Lamborghini, Ferrari, Mercedes AMG!)
