If you really only care about an emergency disconnect then I would think an appropriate sized contactor or switch is a simpler solution. I have one of these circuit breakers in my truck <http:// www.electroauto.com/catalog/circtbkr.shtml>. You could mount it anywhere you have room and run your clutch cable to it to manually trip it
Damon That looks nice, it wouldn't be hard to connect it to the clutch lever. Of course the if I could find a hi/lo gearbox like Jeffry mentioned:
There was a two speed jack shaft arangement that was made for go karts that offered two features, one being a second speed and the other an in/out or more correctly a low, neutral, high which could be taken out of gear underway. It did not have a way to put back into either low or high until at a standstill
Then I'd be able to select high or low range (when stopped) and have a mechanical disconnect that would separate a seized motor from the rear wheel.
