A DC voltage permanent magnet, rotating brush type motor that is characterized by a high output power-to-weight ratio so as to be particularly suitable for use in an electric vehicle. Efficiency is maximized by commutating the motor mechanically rather than electronically. To this end, the motor includes a stationary double sided commutator assembly having sets of electrically conductive commutator bars extending radially on opposite sides thereof, whereby to increase the current carrying capacity of the commutator assembly. A pair of brush assemblies rotate at opposite sides of the stationary commutator assembly. Each brush assembly includes a lightweight brush holder coupled to the motor shaft by which to carry a plurality of shuntless electrically conductive brushes, whereby the brushes rotate relative to the commutator bars at the opposite sides of the commutator assembly.
