Not sure what the laws are in California, but this vehicle will not qualify as a 'bicycle' (three wheels or less) in legal terms. 750 W is the limit for that. I'm guessing it will be considered a moped, not sure what that means WRT licensing, insurance, helmet requirements, etc.
When you say the modules are in the open air, I hope you mean in an insulated box. Having any airflow through a somewhat shielded enclosure will have them covered in dust, condensation, insect nests, etc., all of which can lead to ground faults. This will be an interesting vehicle and therefore an 'attractive nuisance' (look it up) in terms of liability, should anyone touch it while it's charging. What was the charger company that Roger Stockton worked for? Didn't they make up to 72 V chargers with a fat enough amp output to be useful for a biggish pack? Should be a lot of fun. Good luck with it. Be careful in traffic - I'm sure you're already aware of the "eyeball to sidewall" perspective and what it means for visibility.
