N Kat, Welcome. I Have A Free Wheel On My Rear Wheel, It Is The Kats Meow! Ha Ha. It Is On My Diy, Cvt Belt Drive (rear Rack). It Is So Nice, Just Let Off The Throttle And Coast, The Motor Goes To Idle, So Quiet. I Bought 2 Pull Starts For My Happy Time Kits And A Sbp Shifter Kit (if I Ever Get Them Together). I Bought The Pull Starts With The Intent Of Using Them For Tuning The Motors In Before Riding, Then Removing Them. But The Freewheel On The Axle Is So Good. The Shift Kit Is Great And Then You All Ready Have Free Wheel With The Cassette. The Best Of Both Worlds. When "manic Mechanic" Gets The Cnc Motor Into Production, That Will Solve A Lot Of Problems. You May Want The Rubber Inside Also, Would Be Easier On The Spokes. Sounds Like You Are Doing Fine. Enjoy. Ron
