A really wild/money is almost no object idea would be to get
electronic speed controls from radio controlled cars. These things
can control up to several tens of amps continuously. You can control
them like controlling a servo.
Their cost is from about $40 to $200 depending on features. Actually
the lower priced ones might be more suitable for this application
(forward reverse). The more expensive ones don't always have reverse,
but are into regenerative braking.

| (...) There aren't any control electronics to this thing at all, really. There's four switches on the control box, some wires going to the vehicle, and four motor/gearbox combos in the machine that the wires supply power to. No drivers, no heat (...)
