I assume it would be less aggressive gearing than if I did the usual calculation, which in this case would be 4:1

Here's a rough calculation:
10000 rpm motor free speed at 100% command
6500 rpm motor free speed at 65% command
2500 desired operating rpm of flywheel
2.6:1 speed reduction gear ratio = 6500/2500
YMMV depending on how much friction and windage you have in your gearing and flywheel
