You could have the accelerator pedal physically move a variac (variable auto transformer) to directly control the voltage going to the motor.

Alternatively, there is likely a way to directly set the PWM using an analog sensor, instead of interpreting the throttle sensor output through a more complex software stack that could introduce potential errors.
