Electric motor gearing question

[theboom1]

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this but I just want to hear someone else confirm my beliefs. If you have 2 electric motors, both with a very similar power curve and the following specs are:

Motor one: 400hp and geared at 2:1 and rpm redline at 10000
Motor two: 200hp and geared at 4:1 and rpm redline at 20000

All things being equal, will they accelerate at the same rate?

Drag from air increases with velocity, and you need torque at high speed to overcome that.

So it will depend on what car it is. Not sure if mass affects too because at lower speeds you need torque for acceleration.

HP is torque over time, think you meant to ask about torque. HP is a measure of work that can be done.

Gearing helps ICE vehicles because it helps them get past the low torque low rpm range sooner.
