Just thought I'd throw it out there that reversing an electric motor is as simple as reversing the polarity. Meaning, swapping the positive and negative wires, in so doing the motor will spin backwards with the same power and torque.

Anyone who's really smart on this stuff stop me if I'm wrong though, by all means and I know it gets way more complicated when you're talking about the more sofisticated motors like in todays hybrids.
