Thank you, straight to the point! Another disaster avoided thanks to people being bothered to answer daft questions.

I was in a rush! But you would have blown the capacitors in your controller straight away
Only the motor manufacturer will be able, but probably not willing, to answer your query.
Reducing the maximum current to get the maximum allowed wattage, or close to, will probably be OK. (Assuming you have a a controller that allows this)
So 500/48 = 10.41 amps, so setting it to a maximum of 10 amps should be OK....
But you must take responsibility if anything untoward happens!
Theoretically, with proper knowledge, some cells could possibly be rewired to get the correct voltage, but remember, Li-ion batteries are very dangerous and almost impossible to quench if the catch fire.....
A lot of safety knowledge is needed, and somewhere outside to do the work!!

You will as Kirstin has said blow the inlet Cap instantly, the 36v controller has only 50v rated Caps and not 63v of the 48v ones.
