To answer “why” do I need one, it’s so I can go in reverse 
Depending how much fun I want to have with this thing, I may make it road legal. Ever hear of a t-rex? I’m not going to push this thing backwards every time I need to get out of a parking spot. Thus, need for reverse

what about using a high torque starter motor driving one of the wheels for the few times you do need reverse.
