I have a new cement mixer on the way. The unit I bought came in both a gasoline and electric versions (see attachment). I chose the Honda gas engine model for freedom of use. My question is how come the electric motor (110 volt, 6 amp) is rated at 1/2 horsepower and the gas engine is rated at 2.5 horsepower? Both motors will have the same load on them and perform the same task so what gives with these horsepower ratings? Just wondering, and hoping to learn something new.
