Neither of both. The reason is because motors are typically under rated. You should get as big a motor & batteries as you can afford to have the excitement and to feel scary at high speed. :P

im happy with a 24 volt motor and a 48 volt pack.

You also need to consider your controller. You may have 48 volt battery packs but if the controller can only handle 24 volts the only benefit you receive is that the batter will last longer than a 24 volt pack.
