#1 is possible, but I suspect that the motors will respond differently
to different loads, so that if it goes uphill your required voltage
differential might be different than when its on a flat surface or going
downhill. Also, the question of how to operate them at two different
voltages is unanswered.
#2 Is an answer to #1, but unless these are very small motors you will
a) have a hard time finding resistors large enough to dissipate that
much power, and b) even if you do you'll still be wasting a lot of power
through those resistors.
The best solution here -- if not the easiest -- is to implement a closed
loop controller, e.g. PID controller.
