CORRECTION about the WD-40 recommendation. I swear I fact checked this (twice), but now I have a statement from the company.
“White lithium grease for inside, it does come in a spray, also by WD, which would coat more evenly if applying from the back plug hole. But the drive would come pre-greased, generally being regressed when checking wear by removing housing every 500 miles or so. WD 40 is for cleaning\lubing the V ring gaskets every other ride.”
I like Phil’s suggestion to use Lubriplate. I will pin a comment in the YT video

Super interesting to see a gear drive with idler! Very cool. Solves a lot of tight spacing issues.
Is that an Evo deck or just a lookalike?
My only complaint is the groan-worthy branding. Freedom fries, freedom rallies, and freedom gears oh my.

It’s not an evo deck. As I understand it the company ran into some scalability issues with the deck manufacturer. Each deck has slight variations which makes matching the enclosure a bit too difficult.
I know they’re exploring other deck options now. Should be good stuff and produced in the USA.
RE branding doesn’t bother me. Plays to their mission to be a US builder and manufacturer. (Not to imply freedom still rings here.)
