I have been recently talking to folks on the EVDL about constructing a controller bypass, and the advice I got is that 48v is about the limit you want to do in a direct motor-battery connection.

Someone said he did a 96v bypass in a Metro sized car and it was "scary" (think violent, think of stuff breaking & batteries cooking).
