Correct me if im wrong
S.
That's basically it. The only thing I'd add is a 12V step in acceleration from a pedal start, assuming it has anything to add running at 12V.

Hammer, my point about the switch rating is that I'll be a little under the current rating and twice the voltage rating. I'll test it thoroughly first.

Also, I thought of a problem with using the center off DPDT switch configured like the schematic above: The charging socket won't work - it'll just spin the motor. There has to be a switch to take the motor out of the circuit. Back to two switches.
