Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate vehicle speed from RPM?
Speed (MPH) = RPM ร— tire circumference (in) รท (gear ratio ร— axle ratio ร— 1,056). The constant 1,056 converts inches/minute to MPH (63,360 in/mile รท 60 min/hr).
Why does gear ratio matter for speed?
A lower (numerically higher) gear ratio like 3.73 gives more torque but less top speed than a ratio like 2.73 at the same RPM.
