You have an ITS (Inductive Throttle System) that varies the voltage on the throttle input (J4 Pin-3) from about 1.0V when the solenoid first clicks, up to about 2.9V when the pedal is on the floor.

I'm not sure if the throttle system works on current or voltage, but the voltage is relative to B-, so you might be able to add a resistor and switch between J4 Pin-3 and B-, that would shunt a portion of it away from the controller.

If it does, you'll probably have to experiment some to get the right value resistor.

However, with a top speed of about 6MPH, it will be an amp hog. (Motors can draw a lot of amps at low RPM and over heat the motor)
