Things are beginning to take shape. I have received my motor, controller contactor, and MCOR. As best I understand it, the contactor goes between the batteries and the motor/controller to turn on and off power and is basically a flood-gate actuated by a small current. I believe this current has to do with a microswitch inside the MCOR, which has a 2-prong output. How this is wired remains an enigma. As for the MCOR, this is the accelerator unit, with a potentiometer as well as a microswitch inside. What I think this means is it both turns on the current flow at the contactor and regulates the acceleration by telling the controller how much current to give the motor. It has 5 prongs, one set of 3 and one set of 2. I believe these will go to Pins 4,5,6 and 7,15 on the controller. If you would like to see the controller, along with all the gobbledygook I have spent countless hours wading through, you can download the manual below (Model 1266).

As far as actual progress, I had planned to build the rear swing-arm first, with both the rear wheel and motor on it, however I do not know which direction this motor spins, so I have to wire some things before I do that. This means my current goal is to get a spinning motor. From what I've researched, I have come up with a parts list, as follows:
-500ohm 5w resistor
-SPDT toggle
-2x SPST toggle
-Keyswitch
-10a fuse
-200a-250a fuse
-Diode
-4g wire
-18g wire
-4x 12v marine battery
Lastly, for anyone interested, I believe I have an idea of what each controller port will wire to:
1: Speed sensor (On motor)
2: Nothing
3: Nothing
4: MCOR (1 of 3 prongs)
5: MCOR (1 of 3 prongs)
6: MCOR (1 of 3 prongs)
7: Output to contactor
8: Switch (On except when charging)
9: Speed sensor (On motor)
10: Speed sensor (On motor)
11: SPDT Switch reverse side
12: SPDT Switch forward side
13: MCOR (1 of 2 prongs)
14: SPST Switch mode (Fast or slow)
15: Input from keyswitch
16: Main 18g wire to power controller
