I also like the twin motor setup, has each rear wheel driven by its own motor (and controller and battery pack).

I wonder if he could tweak some more acceleration with a series/parallel motor switch.

That is to say, leave the two series wound motors in place, but connect them to each other in series at low speed, and when the battery and motor voltage almost meet then switch them to parallel.
