Hi Gav,
There are 3 different types of drive motor around at the minute so how you power it would depend on the type. Series wound would be the cheapest and simplest to control but is the oldest and maybe less available now. If you want to email me a bit more info on what you have I'll help out where I can. Email add in my profile.
Cheers,
Simon
