Took a break from assembling the body to play with my phaserunner - previously I had been running a no-name Chinese controller with the partially faired trike, and was topping out around 40mph. Unloaded, wheel speed peaked at ~45mph. Tweaking the field weakening setting, I was able to get a motor speed of ~5100rpm, or ~51mph. Going this far had very undesirable effects on power consumption, but a very slightly field weakening effect seemed to actually improve (unloaded) power consumption at max RPM.
