Is the 42 volt limit on the battery (Loaded or unloaded?) or the voltage to the motor? Or on any voltage in the airplane?
We have ways....

no weight limit = 7kg bipes with bigger engines and a whole lot more cost.
In that case with a 42V limit on electrics they would be no longer powerful enough.
Open circuit voltage of the batteries....or at least thats how they were being tested. I am not sure if the rules explicity state that though.
It will take years and a lot of convincing to change it....from the discussions I have seen of the CIAM sub-committee the issue of higher battery voltage is rather divisive at the moment, so I would not expect to see it change in this decade.
They were very diligent about checking every electric model for voltage prior to every flight in France
and they weighed every model after every flight as well.
I say leave it as it is or else a new can of worms will be opened
Stuart, I agree
