Which Gears For NuVinci With Shift Kit?

Need some help please,
I am building a motorized bicycle using the Honda GXH50 engine with the EZ Qmatic drive on it. Then I have also purchased the Shift Kit from Sick Bike Parts LLC, The other big purchaces was the Nuvinci Developer kit, Now the big question is where do I begin with what size chainring to use and what size cog for the Nuvinci? This is getting so confusing to me, think once I get all this to happen properly will have a good thing. Help me out please
 
Rodney, IM going 2B accused of only talking about 1 thing on this forum, but 2 bad. The NVDK is something I know about, and IM the only person I know who has successfully deployed it 4 an MAB app. There must B more, but I looked, unsuccessfully.

3 biggies.
First, steady INPUT torque should be limited to their recommended 48 ft*lb. I say this 'cos my app pushes this limit and has worked flawlessly 4 >2 years, and others who cratered theirs. almost certainly over torqued. They didn't volunteer this, but it seemed obvious 2 me from description of their builds. This torque limit will be hard (but not impossible) to stay under, with your other drive train components.
Second, you need a strong, STEADY, 12 (minimum) volt/5-6 amp power source to shift up with. Otherwise your electronics will cycle off every time U hit a bump, and you will be stuck in low until you reboot (power off, then back on). I made a charge system from scratch - proud of it but lots of work.
Third, your controller has Mickey Mouse circuit board anchoring. The jiggling will tear it loose at the plug in points FU don't gorilla glue them in place. Search kcvale posts from 2-3 years ago, as he took some good pix and gave some good advice on this.
Second post on this today, coincidentally. As I said earlier, I only think a NVDK equipped MAB can work 4 (1) lower powered 20" powered wheel apps like mine, or (2) as jackshafts, spinning faster with less torque.

FUR still interested, check my vids from last year. Overlong, but fairly explanatory and complete.

G'luck!

Thank you very much, I also be really interested in the power supply you made as well. I been trying to figure out a good power source that is not some ugly monster deal, Want to be running good and looking good if you know what I mean? lol. I will search the posts as you said as well, I really want to make this a nice reliable good looking bike.
 
@Rodney My charging system is not gorgeous. IM sure U can do better. Check my vids and U will agree. But I put lots of time and dead ends into my components and how I combined them, and they have worked well 4 me 4 awhile now. I think I linked 2 most of the suppliers in my lengthy build explanation, but happy 2 repost any links U can not find.

Editorial comment; Even without the need for 50-60 watts to shift a NVDK, many MAB riders have expressed the need 4 more/bigger lights. Neither the "Wonderful Creations" or other mag draws, nor the Mickey Mouse friction gens, nor even hub gens, will meet these needs. So, why more kits don't include REAL charging systems? Why have a gas engine bike that needs charging?
