When the rpm is 0, the motor is almost a short circuit. So, to allow very very small pwm (very low power) still allows for big current. I don't see how throttle = power allows for control of current at near 0 rpm.

Hm, it was a neat idea though. could it be that the throttle => power is just too sensitive? I mean, at low duty cycle and low motor amps, there is a small amount of power - but if the input from the pedal can't go that low, or even a small press of the pedal demands a much higher power, it's not gonna work. maybe the throttle input just needs to be scaled down? I guess you'd run the risk of not having higher power...
anyway, was a fun thing to try.
