My second bike is a real smooth Giant Comfort (Sonora) and if I could get the motor chain to not turn when not powered it would be a real easy bike to peddle, a true "hybrid" (carbon/carbohydrate). I'm thinking a large diameter one-way needle bearing might do the trick.

re the brake issue - a drum brake would work perfectly - with the advantage that it would not get affected by rain or anything else weather related. I had one on the old bike I had before it got stolen. i'd fit one up again if I could afford it.
