Theoretically, the watt rating of a motor is the amount of power that it can withstand and run indefinitely. Of course, many motors can take much more power for short periods of time and many are grossly underrated. I have a 48V, 1000w system with a 30 amp controller and 52V battery (58.8V hot off the charger). I've never noticed it even getting warm.
