My cheap treadmill has very inaccurate speed control - it slows down significantly under load (30-40% off target speed). Unlike expensive treadmills that use closed-loop feedback to maintain precise speed regardless of load, mine just applies a fixed voltage and hopes for the best. I would like to …

Odd that they specified a 2W 10K pot. Makes me wonder if the voltage is 5V as you have indicated.
