Enforcing the release of the throttle between throttle and regen braking would make a shorted Reverse button less of a problem ... but it would still be a problem the next time you went to accelerate!

Do you have a preference on the Reverse button connection? I'd prefer an analog input, and a couple of resistors wired into the button to verify that the button is still connected (4.5V) and not open circuit/disconnected (5V), pressed (0.5V) instead of shorted out wiring (0V).
I was hoping to use an existing hook up like the led output. I think I would rather run it as forward is high, inverse is pulled low. I figured out a close source for 5v and everything already if that's ok with you.
