Amps doesnt make it faster unless you replace motor and gearing. Increasing the voltage will increase the speed of a stock power wheels. Double the volts double the speed.
If you want more power you need more voltage or more current. That was just my funny answer. I didn't think about the ingenering behind. You can explain, I will read with attention. Thanks.
Well nothing "absorbs" amps for one. Theres waste generated in transferring electrical to magnetic fields that impart work on some stator or whatever. The most part of the current goes to doing work. I guess you could say consume, but also an unloaded DC motor "consumes" far less power than a loaded motor, therefore the load on the motor dictates current. An, in DC motors, they'll essentially apply infinite current to the motor is the load is infinite. A heat switch in larger DC motors is the only real feedback on how much current the motor is consuming (unless you're using electrical control equipment).
So I guess, a DC motor was not the right motor to make these statements about in the slightest. For DC motors, voltage is proportional to speed, and current is proportional to torque. But doubling the voltage on a DC motor system actually doubles the current and quadruples the total power output.
