SO basically what I'm hearing is:

-get a higher voltage battery
-make sure controller can handle it, if not get one that can
-motor may or may not be able to handle it (check with manufacturer).

So in theory depending on ones' components, the move to a higher voltage could be as simple as just getting a higher voltage battery, or as complext as replacing all three (battery, controller, motor); depends on one's current set-up.

Is that about right?
