Shift you car to 4th from a stop and see how far you go.

A motor is not like an engine, it has more power when slower, and
wouldn't have a problem getting it going.

Electric motors have 100% torque at stall.

I am pleased to see that you at least know the difference between a
motor and an engine. There is hope for you yet.

I also know that a lot are designed so badly that if they stall for more
than a couple of seconds, they burn out. This includes an £80 strimmer

Motors are designed to *rotate*. Stalling them for any length of time is
never a good idea.

Then they should have a cutout fitted or they aren't fit for purpose. My bench saw for example, if it jams on the workpiece, has a clutch which slips.

I bought (so not cheap ****). I just sent it back and got it replaced,
happy in the knowledge that either the shop or the manufacturer was out
of pocket.

Sounds like your example was *abuse*.

No, it got jammed. Likely with a strimmer funnily enough.
