The 3 speed switch does seem to limit current too, and if speed is set to 60% do you appear to get 60% of the max current as well, but I'm guessing you want an economy sort of mode to be able to go full speed without using the extra juice during acceleration ?
There's a shunt bias resistor which in theory could be switched to effectively have the same effect and soldering up the shunt (or removing one).
I tried adding another resistor in parallel across this resistor with a switch, so when flicked it roughly halfed the value of the bias resistor and so should have had big effect on current limit. It didnt seem to though, and had minimal effect on my max current draw. Maybe there's more to it, or maybe I had the wrong resistor ?
This is something that should be easily implemented at the factory level.
