Hello e-folks, I know next to nothing about e-bikes, so i apologise if this a stupid question... is there a danger of damaging a powered wheel by coasting at speed when it is not engaged, turned on, whatever the proper terminology is? I live on a pretty good sized hill and am considering some type of e-drive for my tricycle, I think a mid drive would suit the project best but will probably end up going with an e-wheel. My concern is that I can visualize easily exceeding30-35mph going down this hill,would that be a problem? when the wheel is not under power is it in a true neutral or could it be damaged by the speed? the drive is needed to come back up the hill on a more circuitous route, I don't think it would climb the direct route
