I love it!
Going this route you can keep the same pack, but split it in two. And you can use the same charger (just need 2 of them). In my case this part would be simple. Adding protection also wouldn't be much of a hassle. Definitely going to consider this later…

Consider going with 96v. It's not that much more complicated than 48v but gives you twice the horsepower out of the motor when you need it. Most of the time you won't need more than 5kw. A +48/-48 bipolar isolated system (fuses/breakers & contactors on both rails with the safety ground between the two 48v series-connected banks) is also a possibility.
