Thanks for all the help with the original post. After reading your ideas and input I have decided to revamp the design.
Bryan1 came up with a very very good idea. Why not just use a manual controller designed for the scooter motors and then regulate speed with a servo controlled by the PLC. Awesome idea; I don't know why I didn't think about it.
Here's another change I thought about. Instead of using the wheel on, wheel off steering method, I want to just steer the front wheels. I need some sort of servo type thing. I thought about some sort of piston device and also a stepper motor. What would be the best way to go? Any other way? (Remember the car could weigh up to 450 lbs when loaded).
Thanks
