Yeah, at motorway speeds I imagine that thing would be SCREAMING! I'd be surprised if the gearbox didn't fall to bits, especially if there are any nylon gears in it. Something like this which I'm getting to convert my bicycle has a freewheel built in.

It actually has 2 free wheels. One so the motor can spin the chain ring that would go on the end without spinning the pedals (so you can keep your legs still if you want). Another in the chainring and pedal connection itself so that when you pedal, you don't get the additional drag of spinning the drive train and motor.
