Thank you! That is a wonderful cause. I know you will be successful! If you have a good sized 48v forklift motor (at least 60 pounds), you will be able to run it at 72v no problem, without any adjustments. It might be better to have a motor that's a bit heavier than 60 pounds. Maybe like 80-120 pounds would be better. A larger motor can handle larger vehicles better.
