(Apparently electric motors like to spin fast and are more efficient
at high rpm.)

This is why I've only vaguely followed e-bikes for decades. They were of
no use to slow riders. The only result of riding slow would be to burn
out the batteries from high discharge rates.

Internal combustion vehicles suffer from the same malady. Thus the
"transmission" fitted to nearly all of them. Machinery using electrical
motors almost invariably use a speed reduction system of some sort to
reduce the high motor rpm to a lower speed that can be utilized by the
machinery.

The problem is solvable :-)

Or to be more accurate "the problem has been solved" see

The marketing and price(no doubt) of a Jaguar combined with the
performance and utility of the Trabant. Woops, it has no utility except
to show your gullability. What's the book on life of the website?
