More likely they are either using a higher voltage battery for a particular motor (e.g. 48 v instead of 36v) or have programmed a higher amp limit. Either of these methods can work to achieve their wattage claim. It is common that bikes are tuned by such adjustments to meet certain regulations.
the motor is over bolted if I remember right. it is not built the same way as a typical Bafang 750 watt motor is a a smaller motor. it has less torque.
