What do parameters like V(Volt) mean for ebikes?


Power equals Voltage by Current:

The higher the voltage, lower current is necessary to get the same amount of power (P=VI). 
The voltage should be managed by compromising safety and current rating of component.
This is a parameter which is set based on electrical characteristics of the motor/controller and wiring. 

Voltage has no mechanical effect on the ebike performance. 
Having a higher motor or battery Voltage does not translate a higher performance or higher range by itself. 
Voltage in Li-Ion battery is a matter of number of cells in series.
 

Battery Voltage will not be constant and varies based on SOC (state of charge) a complete charged battery voltage is about 42V when it is nominally 36V and battery voltage is about 30V when the battery is considered complete depleted.

        It’s the energy capacity of battery. Wh=Ah x V. For example a 48V, 8.8Ah battery gives you 48V 8.8Ah = 422.4Wh energy which ideally means you can draw 422W power for 1 hour. The equivalent battery in 36V standard will be about 11.7Ah
