Once again, thanks for the suggestions Dauntless.
The last time any of us used this thing (the batteries are shot now) it probably went 14 or 15 with a rider around 160-170, pretty slowly up hills. As per your suggestion, these are the parts that I will be getting to try running at 36v on the stock motor.

I'm unable to find a motor sprocket more than 11 teeth for #25 chain, I'm not sure what the shaft size and shape are on this motor. Electricscooterparts lists two different sprockets in their parts list for the Pocket Mod. One is 8mm single D-bore, the other is 10mm double D-bore. I'll check out what's on the scooter tomorrow when I get the time. The closest gear ratio I can get to 5 1/3 is 12/65 (5.41:1). Is that close enough?
That still comes out to around $138 not including any sprockets, tools, wire, or connectors. I don't know that I want to spend that much on a solution that's almost guaranteed to burn out my motor, but I suppose most of the stuff except the controller and motor sprocket is stuff that I could use on a new motor setup anyway. I'm just nervous about the motor burning out and taking some other components with it. Is that a reasonable fear or is the motor the only thing that will go out? Also, I don't know that I want to change out wheels. I'd like to keep it looking as stock as possible.
EDIT: Also, would this be worth having to monitor voltages and currents? http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-T-Power-LCD-Display-RC-Watt-Meter-and-Power-Analyzer-130-Amps-130Amps-/310802824855?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item485d4abe97 How would I wire it up? Between battery and controller, controller and motor, or battery and motor?
