I'm hoping for 0-20 in 6-10 seconds with that swap. Right now its about 8-15 sec's to 15mph depending on terrain. I'm also hoping to be able to maintain 15mph up most hills. Right now I can only maintain about 9mph up the worst hills and 12-13 up other hills (which is painfully slow). All of this is with no pedal assist of course.

This was what I was getting at with my question about gearing. If your motor is rated for 2500 rpm and you are pulling it down to 800-1100 rpm that seems like too much to me. I would think that more gear reduction to the motor would give better performance. Thanks for explaining the freewheel mechanism though.
