Sounds fun.
The controller is good for about 360W, and should make the motor run down to at least half speed, possibly less, but it depends on the construction of the motor. At lower speeds, the motor may be jerky.

It would be better to let the motor run quite fast and drop the speed by a belt drive on to a large wheel, like a turntable.

Gaz me if you want any more help, its my bed time now.

Well....
the motor came from a mobility scooter, so I assume that at low speed is *should* be quite smooth - from what I've seen of those things, they don't accelerate all that fast!

Thanks for the help, for the sake of 20 quid on ebay, I'll take a chance on the controller.
