If you power a 5V speaker with 60V, that just makes it 12 times louder, right? Rock on!As I mentioned above. You do need to find out what the actual battery voltage is. For example, a "12V" car battery runs at about 14V during charge. If the same ratio applies to your 60V battery, you are looking at 70V.
I'd advise to aim for a 100V input regulator.
But here is a diagram..

The big problem is the input voltage is way too close to the max, and motors generate spikes.
That will kill your regulator and the result could be 60V applied to your 5V device. Just think hard about that before you connect it up.
