When ordering a motor should one specify 36 volts or 48 volts? I aim to use a 48 volt battery. I have tried to find an answer to this on the forum, but most of the discussion is on over volting an existing motor. I want something that is legal, 15 mph is sufficient for me. I do want good hill climbing & am therefore thinking of the two speed motor.

Only legal if 250w rated, AFAIK Xiongda's are 350w.

If using a 48v battery buy 48v hub motor.
The only reason us guys over volt a 36v hub is because we already have it, there is a chance risk of frying the hub or melting the nylon gears but only if you go mad with the amps.
