OK, I see now. Yeah, current is limited by the DC resistance of the coils which is really low generating really high potential currents. When the motor starts moving, back-EMF becomes the major factor in limiting current.

Maybe I'm not explaining it right, but I don't think a motor will regulate power either. All I was trying to say was that current is not dictated solely by the voltage because there ARE other factors.
