When the motor in an engine turns, it has mechanical energy. This energy is derived from the movement and rotation of the engine components.
A motor transfers electrical energy into mechanical energy.
A motorbike gives out mechanical energy in the form of motion. The engine converts fuel into rotational motion, which powers the wheels to move the bike forward.
The electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat. The kinetic energy is first seen in the blades of the fan as they rotate. This kinetic energy is converted to air movement, another form of kinetic energy. The electrical energy isn't fully converted to kinetic energy but turns into heat. This is generated by the magnetic fields of the motor and friction. Both of these are considered to be losses of energy but in fact they are simply a conversion to a form of energy that is not of use.
Energy is lost in the form of heat due to friction between moving parts, resistance in the wires, and eddy currents generated in the motor. These energy losses reduce the efficiency of the motor and result in less than 100% of the electrical energy being converted into kinetic energy.
The process that turns light energy into usable energy is known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which can be used as a source of energy for the organism's growth and metabolism.

Mechanical energy
A motor can be used to produce both types of energy, kinetic and potential. It is not in itself a form of energy. It can produce kinetic energy by driving the wheels of a car, or it can produce potential energy by charging the battery in the same car. These are only two of a myriad of examples.Depends on the type of motor. An electric motor converts electrical energy to magnetic energy to mechanical energy. A combustion engine- like a car, converts chemical energy to heat energy to mechanical energy.

The best example is an electric motor which turns and creates mechanical energy. Think about all the places electric motors are used like washers, dryers, vacuums, etc.
The word motor is used sometimes to refer to electrical motors or to internal combustion engines. In an internal combustion engine, like the engine in an automobile, the gasoline is a source of chemical energy. When the car is moving it has kinetic energy. One see then an example of the transformation of chemical to kinetic energy. If the car is driving up a hill, then there is an increase in potential energy due to the action of the motor's transformation of the chemical energy. In the process, the chemical energy is released in combustion in the cylinders. Combustion creates heat energy, so the chemical energy has been transformed into heat energy. It is the heat energy that is then transformed into kinetic energy or potential energy. In an electrical motor, the input energy is electrical. The electrical forces created inside the motor do some work to make the motor turn. If the motor turns freely, then it has only kinetic energy and the electrical energy has been converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating motor. If the motor serves to apply force (or torque) to some ofther device, then the motor is doing work and transforming its input electrical energy into some other form of energy that depends on what work the motor does. (If the motor drives a car then it transforms to kinetic energy or if it lifts a weight it transforms into potential energy.) Note that in both cases, the motor is not 100% efficient in doing work and converting energy so some heat energy must be produced in both instances. Note also that the motor may be said to produce mechanical energy which is a little vague and only means energy transformation that is seen as motion and not specifically kinetic or potential.

It is a form of potential energy. It turns in Kinetic energy (the energy of movement) when the elastic is released.
