Cordless drill power supplying scooter motor?

Does this sound right?

drill battery and controller
no-load

driving the drill motor
lowest-speed
1 amp
full throttle
2.8 amps

driving the scooter motor
lowest-speed
1.5 amp
full throttle
10 amps

What 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-13
Specification
1.Voltage:24-48VDC
2.Rotation:CCW
3.No load: No=2600rpm±10% Io=2.5 A REF
4.Load:T=2.2N.m Nn=2600rpm±10% In=34.0 A REF
5.Lead wire:10AWG Black- Red+ 350±30mm Long
6.With pitch to 6.35mm, roller diameter of 3.3mm,
11 teeth sprocket. Motor diameter of 101mm,
a length of 95mm.

completely different design objectives.
I'd worry about continuous high load on a motor/control system
designed for intermittent duty.

What would you anticipate as the total "trigger down" time of a
drill motor over the course of a year. How long would it take
to accumulate that much time on a scooter? Do the same math for the
peak 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.
