No, not unloaded. But each motor does have an rpm where it is the most efficient (see Griffin's motorcalc proggy). The motor would still be loaded. The vehicle would just go faster and faster up to the CVT limit. So, the motor load would increase slowly, but rpms would be kept fairly constant.

Would eliminate setup problems where people gear too high to attain a high speed, while allowing enough rpms at low speed for proper ESC commutation.
