When I went from 14" wheels to 12" wheels, I lowered my cart by 2.3" and then had them reset my tire size and top end speed. I gained 11% of range as well. You can find the tests done my Tesla online that show that for every 3" of tire diameter reduction in size, electric motors gain 10% in range. In this case, the reduction in diameter is 4.6".

I just bought new wheels I liked better, so this is a good way for someone to test out whether they want 12" tires for a low cost.'

On a shorter cart when the motor turns once, it moves the cart 12 inches. With a taller cart, the motor turns once and moves the cart 14 inches. There can be aerodynamic resistance and friction brought in, but the end game doesn’t change much.

Range could be effected by current usage for the additional load of 14 inch tires? I’m thinking equilibrated with the difference at best?
