Just wanted to say something, I'm in an engineering class in school right now, and we've actually tested this with VEX kits, and the darts fly MUCH farther when we set up the flywheels and motors the way Nerf does it... because you want a DISTANCE multiplier NOT A FORCE multiplier. So in turn, what you want is a motor with high torque, but also a high RPM.
As for the bike thing, your feet moving the pedals are FORCE multipliers and from front sprocket to back sprocket it's a DISTANCE multiplier then it spins a rod on it's inside which is a FORCE multiplier then that spins the wheel which is the last DISTANCE multiplier. So in turn, it goes Force to Distance to Force to Distance.
