In addition to what others have said, electric motors are happier turning at a higher RPM. Most include a fan which is more efficient spinning faster as well.

What are the drawbacks of just lowering the voltage to 24 rather than the extra hardware? It seems that there would be some inefficiency from the belt. How does this compare to less than maximum efficiency at 24 volts?
