Golf carts used to be 36 volts. And moved to 48 volts.
A lot of electric scooter designs went with these voltage ranges as well.
And currently 36 to 60 V tends to be a good compromise with wiring weight (thinner wires for the same wattage with higher voltages) and reasonable costs for the required switching semiconductors. (Higher voltages, higher semiconductor costs)
Also, for bare, dry, intact skin, 48VDC is generally considered safe, I think by really old research.
