Cordless drill power supplying scooter motor?

Question

Does this sound right?drill battery and controller no-loaddriving the drill motorlowest-speed1 ampfull throttle2.8 ampsdriving the scooter motorlowest-speed1.5 ampfull throttle10 ampsWhat concern is there about the cordless drill speed controller (trigger stuff, PWM, whatever) overheating? I suppose a temperature monitor could be used, if necessary. I could lose the cordless drill controller without crying about it. Also, I am dealing with lithium-ion batteries, so would not want the controller failure to make the batteries somehow catch fire or explode?Thanks.-- The cordless drill is a Bosch 36V lithium-ion hammer drill.The scooter motor is something like this.Brush DC Motor XYD-13Specification1.Voltage:24-48VDC2.Rotation:CCW3.No load: No=2600rpm±10%  Io=2.5 A REF4.Load:T=2.2N.m  Nn=2600rpm±10%  In=34.0 A REF5.Lead wire:10AWG Black- Red+ 350±30mm Long6.With pitch to 6.35mm, roller diameter of 3.3mm, 11 teeth sprocket.

completely different design objectives.I'd worry about continuous high load on a motor/control systemdesigned for intermittent duty.What would you anticipate as the total "trigger down" time of adrill motor over the course of a year.  How long would it taketo accumulate that much time on a scooter?  Do the same math for thepeak temperature of various components.People used to try to use auto starter motors in electric scooters,but not at anywhere near their peak torque rating.
