I'm not positive but I think it will run okay at 72v, Tom. At least Kelly Controls thinks it will cause they sell a kit, with 48v (KBL48301) controller, but offer upgrade to the 72V controller and they throw in a 15A charger too. Obviously they mean for the motor to be run at 72V or they would not upgrade the charger. I will check for sure before placing an order. If it don't work out then I guess I still got my Atomic 4 to git 'er done.
