Those power ratings are fairly meaningless,a 1950 is capable of kicking out alot more than that.The low winds only come in hi-amp,meaning you can solder direct to the windings for lower resistance,since the low wind motor will pull so many amps.A motor can only kick out as much power as the batts provide minus ineffciency.That's why you need to run the motor in it's efficiency range and gear for the speed,typically 35000-40000 max rpm,simply more power out for power in.The only way to an efficient high power set up is to go high voltage.
You need to decide how fast you want to go and how much battery power is needed to get there and then let us advise you on a suitable set up and theoretical gearing.It will require center diff or ginormous pinions with a maxx tranny to hit high speeds with 40000 rpm(You'll need a lathe to machine the pinions from gear stock).
Just let us know what vehicle and how fast you want it to go.
