The size is less of an issue than the power usage.

Does it also use 1000% more power to get that strength?

The only real benefit in that case would be robot mech suits.

Hopefully the numbers are correct. The article however is shockingly terribly written.

I was going to shit all over this thing, but if it can do ~500hp continuously that's awesome. Wonder what kind of efficiency it has and what the cooling requirements are. That low weight puts us back into unsprung wheel motor territory, especially if it scales down well.

"YASA" sounds like a mashup between YMCA and NASA. Even their logo looks like the Y's.
