Whether it is a problem will depend on the size of the wheel and the function it performs. A large traction load on a big wheel could easily overheat a geared-up motor. That is why it is much more common practice to gear down.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
