Similar to that obviously, but better. I will have to use a trailer wheel, which handle handle the load and speed and in my case running it @ 65mph would be most efficient for me since I run 60 miles one way to work each day on the highway. So 60miles @ 800 rpm is much better than 60mph @ 2200 rpm.

But i guess the answer is that I have to get the tire up to speed before it hits the floor? The wear on the trailer wheel is insignificant really, they cost next to nothing, but I am more oncerned about damaging an electric motor.
