An electric work machine includes a first brushless motor including a first stator and a first rotor combined with the first stator, and a controller. The first stator includes a first stator core and multiple first coils wound around multiple teeth on the stator core. The controller magnetizes the teeth to cause the first rotor to rotate about a rotation axis. In a plane orthogonal to the rotation axis, the first stator core has the same shape as a second stator core in a second stator used in a second brushless motor in another electric work machine. The first rotor can be combined with the second stator. The first rotor has a different number of poles from a second rotor used in the second brushless motor.

A motor includes a rotor molded by resin casting, and a stator disposed inside the rotor. The rotor includes a cylindrical portion in which a plurality of magnets are arranged side by side in a circumferential direction. The magnets are exposed on a side of an open end as one end of the cylindrical portion in an axial direction of the cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion includes an inner resin located inside each of the magnets in a radial direction of the cylindrical portion. The inner resin includes a first resin portion, and a second resin portion closer to the open end than the first resin portion in the axial direction. A sectional area of the second resin portion perpendicular to the axial direction is smaller than a sectional area of the first resin portion perpendicular to the axial direction.
