The motor should run about 48MPH unloaded with this gearing.. Actual speed will be slower due to traction, drag, weight, etc..
This gearing should let you run the motor at its best efficiency without overheating.
Hope this helps.

cheers for doing that. i tried using the gear chart but its far too complex for me to follow
what is the difference between the 23t im running and 19t. how much difference in acceleration and top speed
currently its fast enough to keep me entertained but any slower ill be bored
will hitting sweet spot just increase longtivity of motor ??
