2 motors, same kv, same size, different max wattage - how does this work?

here’s what happens when you double the resistance with the same KV during full throttle acceleration…

efficiency goes down (green line, top left chart), ohmic motor heating doubles (90w -> 180w), battery amps increase (black line, bottom right chart), acceleration remains identical, top speed is nearly identical.

(50v battery, 0.025ohm vs 0.050ohm, 100kv, 100mm tires, 1:1 gearing, 100% throttle, %95 max duty cycle, 60a motor current limit, 60a battery current limit per motor)
