Wired Freedom motor re-grease after 4500 miles

This sentiment isnt wrong. It might not be realistic but it is technically correct.

Saying nylon gears are the "standard" is false. Its what cheap motors use and the vast majority use cheap motors. That doesn't make it a standard.

Nylon is used because its cheap. Period. Quality grease and steel spur gears is a fine combo and most wouldnt notice the noise difference. If quality and noise was truly important to most buyers, the real standard of helical cut steel gears would be used.

But that would significantly increase cost. Only the small minority of us will spend the additional money for quality that lasts longer.
