I'm a Battlebot builder.  Here is a fighting robot site that mentions 
building electric powered vehicles.

In Battlebot parlance, you want to build the "power amplifier".  Of 
course, fighting 'bots have a radio control link between the 
potentiometer and the DC motor.  What you want is more straightforward.

Here's a kit that might be what you're looking for.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.  I think it's perfect 
if fighting robot technology is driving lower cost and better solutions 
for helping people get about.
