You can over-rev a typical EV motor with modest voltage. Perhaps with 24V if there is no load. Certainly with 48V.
The motor voltage limit is a combination of insulation breakdown, especially over time+heat+voltage, and commutator/brush arcing.

There isn't a reasonable way to do a low pass filter. The currents are too large, and the load varies too much. You would end up with something that is inefficient or huge, likely both.
In particular, think about current multiplication and what happens with the freewheel current.
