The controller on my '75 Fiat 128 conversion was dead seimple
voltage switcher with switched resistance - 2 battery packs in
parallel through resistor - short resistor, switch packs to series
through resistor, short resistor - then weaken field with rheostat -
motor was a military surplus aircraft generator.


Was it practical in city traffic?
