Gearing Options for Bikes
and Scooters
Currie, Lashout, and ElecTrec bikes or scooters can be made faster,
slower,
better hill
climbers, longer range, or just about anything you
choose
with the
installation of custom batteries, motors, and sprocket
sets.
The
following is a partial list of sprocket (gear ratio) options available
from
EVdeals. The possible combinations of motors, sprockets, and
batteries is too large to present clearly on this site, so I urge you
to
call if you have questions or don't see what you have in mind.

Effect of using alternative motors
The tables above were derived using a
combination of empirical testing
and extrapolation. Your results will vary depending on many factors, but
should be surprisingly close to those indicated.
In addition to gear ratio changes, you may
also want to consider changing
or upgrading your motor to any one of the alternatives listed on this site.
(see motors) To estimate the performance of these
optional motors, just
follow the instructions outlined below.
Motor |
Correction Factor |
Silver Can MAC (24V) |
no correction needed, use table values |
Finned BMC 400W
(24V) |
no correction needed, use table values |
Hi-Kol 400W (24V) |
subtract 1.5 MPH from above tables** |
BMC 600W (24V) |
subtract 1/2 MPH from above tables** |
MAC 600W (24V) |
subtract 1/2 MPH from above tables** |
36V Hi-Kol modified
motors |
add 6 MPH to table values |
36V Super-BMC 750 motor |
add 6 MPH to table values |
48V Super BMC 750
motor |
add 12 MPH to table values |
**Don't be surprised
that the standard 600W motor shows 1/2 MPH
slower in the chart above. These motors develop the highest torque
and
efficiency at lower RPM than the smaller motors. However,
since they can
be geared higher without overheating, they will
always be your
best choice for high speed applications. This is
especially true
in hilly terrain and with heavy riders.

A Final Word
Before ordering any of the motors or
gearing options, please call for
a brief consultation. Matching your particular needs to a specific motor
and gearing combination can be difficult, especially in situations where
non-standard conditions prevail such as odd wheel sizes, unusual road
conditions, special needs and heavy riders.
