I ran the NEU 1515 1Y on both 4S and 6S yesterday...
You are right in that it pushes the RPM to the upper end of the motor specs.
4S is around 35-40K which would be a sweet spot IMO. Geared at 22/56 on 4S puts you in the mid 40s for speed. 6S puts you at about 60MPH with still a LOT of torque to lift the front end up and over even while already moving at 40MPHish. Hitting the throttle of 6S from a stop would either burn up the slipper rather quickly, tear up your tires rather quickly, or tear up the drivetrain quickly. So, even if you geared for slower speeds, the torque increase will just be too undriveable.
