I am going to add a power guage and a lock-out switch for the higher speeds (kid-friendly). With the lock-out, I think I should be able to wire in a second 36v ignition-type switch to interrupt the circuits that turn on the high speed coils, requiring a key to turn them on.

You may overheat the resistors doing that. Full speed shunts around the resistors so they are not in the circuit at all. This is where a controller cart excels. You can run slowly and not have to worry about hot resistors! My opinion is (and it's only my opinion), that the resistor carts were made for pretty much golf, where you go 100yds then stop for several minutes or so. This lets the resistors cool off. Running the cart full speed is fine. In fact there is no difference in performance in a resistor cart and a controller cart when in full speed!
