My understanding of this is very limited but i believe running a 48v motor at 96v results in twice the rpm and at 144v triple the rpm. (Overvoltaging?)

The power and torque curves obviously change between different voltages.

I can't remember all the pros and cons but when i was deciding on the voltage i exchanged quite a few emails with Custom EV Performance. I also did a lot of comparisons to the motors from HPEVS.

Too late if it is all wrong, it is in the garage waiting for the ICE engine to creep away in shame so that it can take its rightful place in the engine bay.
