Going beefier?
Is there room for a motor with a larger case diameter, that will increase the torque (at the cost of top RPM, but that shouldn't matter) without increasing the friction through gear reduction.
I am guessing that a geared motor will have a planetary set in the the output end, I would also think that it needs lubrication of some sort.
I wish there was an elegant way to do this without the added friction of additional gears, just straight from the motor to the wheel, but I figure cost is an issue, as well as packaging. (oh yeah, and the freewheel adapter, don't suppose that could be incorporated on the motor shaft?)
Not being judgmental, just curious on your choices. If I never ask then I will never know (I may be too curious for my own good though.)
