IMHO nothing really matches an EV Warrior under $100.  You can come close though.  A 24 volt 350 watt scooter motor will have similar RPM and HP as an EVW at 12 volts.  To come close to an EVW at 24 volts you will need a scooter motor in the 900 watt range.  Scooter motors at this wattage usually require 36 volts.

24 volt EVW's do not have to be geared down twice as much.  Your vehicle can just go twice as fast!

This is one opinion I do not happen to agree with, unless of course your purpose is to be easy prey for the Cromwell!   (insert evil laugh here)    ;-)
