Looked up the listing for the powered up motors and it’s confusing. Personally
I know the difference and know how they work but to others it’s a nightmare.

Eg.

54675c02 Electric, Motor Powered Up, Large Angular

And

54675c01 Electric, Motor SPIKE Prime, Large Angular

Are the same motor, the only difference is the sets that they came in.
They are the same internally, the Spike Prime and MINDSTORMS app can’t tell the
difference between the two motors ether.

So in my opinion all the powered up motors and spike prime motors should be amalgamated
into one listing with the only difference being colour. Also to accommodate the
change the name should include both of the names spike, and powered up

Also proof of the difference and confusion of the listings if you look for the
listings of 54675c02 there are already people listing the spike prime as the
powered up, just with a different colour.

Also before people try to bring up the colouring of the motors, if you notice
the part below the part that spins is always white. The ends where the wire comes
out, and the part that spins are always the same colour.

So in the listing the colours should be determined by the colour of the end,
and spinny part of the motor.

Just in the case of forgetfulness, the same should be applied to the medium angular
motors too.

They already have the same basic number 54675 already.

If people are listing them incorrectly then report them.

How do you report them?

I frequently look at the custom listings and about 45% are item that exist in
the bl catolog.

You can report incorrectly listed items here:

If they are listed as custom items instead of under the correct item number,
I don't think there is an issue.
