Given the same voltage and wattage, does one hub generally roll better while NOT UNDER POWER?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Geared hub motors roll nice with no perceptable drag.Given the same voltage and wattage, does one hub generally roll better while NOT UNDER POWER?

More gears doesn't make you faster.Would that geared system work on a modern 8 or 9 speed cassete?
What about a 10 or 11 speed?
Think of what you could do with one of those on a real bike!
I've got one of each and there's no difference I can tell but a fella wants to remember, a geared HubMotor still has a clutch in it which shouldgeared hub motors are lighter and freewheel so its the most like a regular bike. Some direct drive motors freewheel better than others. That was one of the big selling features of brushless hub motors over brushed. You tend to not notice any drag unless your going pretty fast so mainly its just the extra weight your pushing that you notice. I'm sure it probably depends on the controller and bearings too.

add a tidbit of drag whereas, the Direct Drive HubMotor just freewheels unless it has regenerative braking.
Ok, I haven't responded to many of the fellas on the Forum for awhile.Look at the dates on the thread. Also the member you replied to @kevyleven007 hasn't been on the forum since August of 2019
You're one of the rare exceptions whose been gone a while and come back. Still the chances are if the person hasn't figured something out after 5 years they've long gone given up on it.Ok, I haven't responded to many of the fellas on the Forum for awhile.
