Somebody doesn't understand how electricity and wire size works, The higher the voltage the smaller the cabling you need, The only reason you would need to upgrade the wire to a larger gauge, would be if you were dropping the voltage. Lower voltage is generate more heat for the same workload, higher voltage is run cooler.

Since he didn't change the motor, it is still designed for 36 volts. Give it 48 volts (and that lithium "48" is actually 52 volts or more) and it will draw more current than it ever did from the 36 volt lead acid battery bank. Give or take 1.33 times the current. So yes, the existing wires and speed regulating resistors are going to get hotter, and it's not a bad idea to put in some heavier wires.

The BMS and cells used are going to dictate whether or not this thing works well. The 200A (continuous?) BMS is a good sign but you should really crack that case open and see whats inside. Most cells have a QR code you can scan with a code with an app online to tell you what they are. Some 100Ah cells can support 2C continuous....not many can do 3C continuous and very few can do 5C. The hot shit on the market right now is the 74Ah LEV60F cells since they can support 400A easily and possibly 600A if you match up a good set of low IR cells.
