A thought that I have communicated badly, or not at all, is that the main reason I wanted to use the 21 different gear combinations on my eZip was to increase efficiency. I don't really need more speed or more torque. I wanted to reduce the current draw from the battery by using the gears to reduce the torque and battery current needed in some conditions. Your ' gear up' = punish the motor into slowness kinda defeats that.

I'm trying to tread carefully and not discourage your creativeness, but battery life per charge is one of the factors in the equation.
be well, think well
