I have a problem however. The throttle unit was the only piece I didn't get with the scooter (broken). I know that it must be a potentiometer but what resistance and current handling?
Depends on the controller. 10K is a common value. Current handling generally doesn't matter (very low power levels.)
Also anybody who knows about scooters what would you expect my full throttle rpm to be? Can I bypass the power controller at full speed to just dump 24Volts directly to the motor?
If you have a chopper controller, and are driving a brushed motor, then you can connect them to the batteries directly. Do NOT do this unless the motor is mounted - the startup torque can tear the leads off. An easier way to do this is to use a bench supply and slowly crank up the voltage to the battery voltage. Less torque that way.
