I've got a conversion setup that uses a geared hub motor, apparently the gears are some type of nylon. They're fairly durable, as there isn't a lot of torque on the gear teeth themselves as this is a reduction gear (goes from a higher speed low torque motor to a lower speed at the hub). I have noticed with mine that there is a bit of a stressful sound from the gears if I apply the throttle from a dead stop, esp. if up an incline. So I typically will start peddling first a couple times then ease on the throttle. Not sure how this would work on a different setup that uses a peddle sensor though.
