I found out by experimenting that the original speed is about 13 mph. By adding 10 inch tires (205 65 10) the speed increases to about 15. By adjusting the govenor compeletly open the speed is 18 to 20 or 22 if you really wind it out over a long flat stretch. If you adjust all the slack from the accelerator cable it will reach 24 easily and sometimes 25. So 8 to 1 gears should get it around 30 mph? You don't have to go that fast just because it will. It's like having a powerful engine in your car. You don't always run it up to it's capabilities but it's nice to have the power if you need it. Kind of a guy thing.
