About a month ago, I purchased an electric moped/scooter. I decided to upgrade it by replacing the old lead-acid batteries with a 60V 43Ah lithium battery. Since the original controller was only capable of handling a maximum of 48V 40A, I upgraded it to a Fardriver ND72260 controller. However, I'm unsure of the motor's maximum wattage and continous wattage.

I've tried researching the motor's specifications but haven’t had much luck. Since I was already planning to waterproof the motor, I decided to open it up (see attached pictures). Inside, I found 46 magnets and 51 slots.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me identify my hub motor.

Side plate pictures would be helpful, especially if there are any markings. Also, what brand is the scooter?

But, also, don't entirely get your hopes up; identifying a rando motor is a shot in the dark. For a situation like this, I'd likely just install a temp probe in the monitor and field test how much power it can maintain without overheating. Once you find that point, that's the, well, it. You can often burst 2-3x that value, but you'll have a known point and temp monitoring so you can have the controller to thermal rollback.

Aside from the thermal resistor, you might want to put some Statorade in there to help protect it from the heat generated by the higher wattage you seem to want to send through it.

The internals look a LOT like the 9 Continents ebay clone I recently pulled a core from. Here are some photos of that. I assuming that this is a fairly typical construction for a no-brand Chinese motor. If you are trying to characterize this motor on Grin's Motor Simulator, I'd give one of the fast wind (cuz you have a small diameter wheel) 9C versions a try and see if it seems to match.
