This has been done before and it seemed to work.

I think you meant 48, 72, and 96V for your batteries. The problem with that setup is that the 48V batts will be discharged more than the 72s and the 72s more than the 96s. But you could rotate them after a while so they all "wear out" at about the same time. Make sure your switch is rated to carry the current and voltage you will be using.

Taking the fenders off would be terrible for aero. Don't do it unless you won't go over 30 mph.
