I dont think its called a one way bearing, its more of a cog. Ive taken them apart to grease them. It looks like an inside gear, with the teeth square on one side, and sawtooth shaped on the other.

The tab that engages it is spring loaded - when you pedal forwards it catches, when you pedal backwards the tabs slides on the sawtooth shaped edges.

Now that I think of it, the high speed motor doenst need this, only the high torque motor. So you could have a two motor tranny and use the high speed motor to go backwards when you need to.
