Can the Micro DC Geared Motor 6V operate at 30RPM?

I am interested in running a motor at 30, 60 and 90 RPM with a 10 gram weight attached to the shaft (very small weight). I found the Micro DC Geared Motor 6V 96RPM online (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1339.html). I could not find a motor curve for this specific motor but the operating voltage and no load speed were given:

Operating voltage: DC3V-9V ([email protected]/ [email protected]/ [email protected])
No-load speed: 48-140 RPM

This motor can definitely operate at 60 and 90 RPM but I am having questions about operating at 30 RPM. To achieve 30 RPM according to the operating voltage, I would need to supply around 2V which is 66% of the rated minimum. I could probably use a gear reduction to achieve the 30 RPM but I am trying to avoid this. Will this motor operate at all 3 different RPM's?

THANKS!
