Jeff, $750!! Wow, I'll sell you a BLDC motor and control for much less money.
I would make sure it does have reversing capability, especially reverse on the fly which many low cost BLDC motor controls do not have. I could not tell from the picture what type of BLDC chip they were using. A BLDC motor is electrically controlled. I have a 1.5 Hp continous rated control that will operate in all 4 quadrants. This control is 3" by 3.25" by 2.5" tall. Rod P.S. An electric wheel chair is certainly an EV! Just as much and more so than a scooter since it is primary transportion.
