I’m building an electric beach cart using a transaxle motor off a mobility cart. It’s being powered by 20V power tool batteries. Axle motor is 24V 180W 11A. I would like a potentiometer for speed control and also a forward/stop/reverse switch. Someone suggested the SyRen 50A regenerative motor driver. I’m good at the mechanical fabrications but not the electrical side of it. Thanks

But also, you can go with a stronger one if you want to be sure:
