The motor isn't the limiting factor in this conversion - the system voltage is (48 volts). I was told by a motor expert I could confidently coax ~100 hp or more from the motor in this baby by upping the v's (plus adding cooling, etc).
At 48 v, it tops out at ~60-65 km/h (~40 mph). Good for around town.
