I am seeking a a rear hub motor that can handle from 24v upwards to 48v or higher and it has to be 1500watt or higher.

It can be direct drive or internally geared motor but i prefer a geared one.

I have been searching a lot but cannot find one to meet my specifications.

I would prefer if its a entire kit I am getting.

Please help me by posting a link or tell me where I can go to find such a kit.

I just noticed that Lead sells a 2kw motor that needs 165mm rear dropouts, also a 2k-5kw motor which might be the same motor. One states 24 mosfets the other 36fets, so thats probably the same motor, diff cont, though theres a $300 price difference. $499/$799
 
That motor should suit your needs for 1500w +.

But most 500w rated motors, such as the typical larger geared motors, can handle 1500w max power intermittently, which is how an e bike works. cruising 30 mph takes about 1000w, so the motor does not see 1500w for very long at a time.

24-48v controllers would be a rare breed, and in any case, running 24v would cut your wattage in half compared to 48v. lots of options out there for 36-72v range controllers.

Before choosing a motor though, bear in mind that loads over 300 pounds, rider, bike, battery, motor, and cargo, get tough on geared motors if you have long hills. The main reasons to choose a big powerful motor like the leaf are heavy loads, and or wanting to run more than 1500w.
 
24V is hard to find for controllers, but here are some random searches

Yeah, but not 24v, 1500w plus watts.

Easy to change controllers later, if you want to start out lower powered, 24v. I'm assuming you might want to do that for the purpose of starting out with a less expensive battery.
