What is the cubic centimeter (cc) equivalent of an electric motor scooter with a 1000 watt motor and 78 aH 12v battery?

1 hp = 746 watts. 1000 watts/746 watts/hp = 1.34 hp.
A typical fuel injected gas engine develops 1 hp per 22 cc.
So 1.34 hp x 22 cc/hp = 29.5 cc.
However, a 1000 watt electric motor will have very different torque and power curves per rpm (revolutions per minute). An electric motor develops maximum torque at 0 rpm, whereas a typical small gasoline engine has very low torque at low rpm and will perhaps hit peak torque around 5000 rpm. A motor scooter with a small gasoline engine will probably use a CVT (Continuously Variable (ratio) Transmission) based upon a belt with variable pulleys at each end to allow it to rev higher when starting. An electric motor scooter could probably work well with a fixed gear ratio and would likely out accelerate the equivalent gas powered scooter, but depending upon the fixed ratio chosen, might have a slower top speed.
