they are totally silent and have no moving parts nor mechanical friction" and "
The Dynohub has _very_ low drag."

Checked my Milano last night. The rear wheel spins freely,just like a derailer bike.
I'm thinking this particular bike wasn't set up properly. That would account for most of the probs you experienced. Any Breezer owners out there want to weigh in?
