A suggestion for your throttle. Keep the pot wired in as a normal throttle would be, then add a pushbutton switch like Adrian was referring to. I'd suggest using a momentary NC switch wired between the pot wiper and ground. When you're not pressing the button the throttle will be shorted to ground, then when you press it the motor will come on at whatever throttle the pot is set to. That gives you some adjustability but also the safety of a dead-man switch configuration. I'd think you could find a way to place the button to use it without moving your hands on the grips.
Probably wouldn't hurt to wire in the brake cutoff, too, but if you place the button correctly you could probably make it impossible to press the button and pull the brakes at the same time.
