The Lehner xl1600 with 15/46 gearing on 14 cells in series will put you in the low 30 mph speed range and will run for a long time. i recommend running your batteries in series vs. in parallel, as you will get more benefit from the improved efficiency of the higher voltage. The xl2000 on the same cell count (also in series) with 12/46 gearing would be around the same speed, but would have more throttle control (higher rpms) and would also accomplish your goal. Either of these setups would be the better way to accomplish this vs. a faster motor (that will run hotter and draw more amps to accomplish the same thing) and parallel packs.
