36 volts is common on ebikes, especially fleet bikes (Citi, Divvy, Lime, etc.) and other class 1's which comply with the 250 W limit, which means there's a lot of cheap cycled-out (ahaha) equipment floating around. It is otherwise unusual though for sure; fortunately a lot of 48 V stuff is happy on 36 V.
