With all the calculators that have been added to this site, and their complicated ways of figuring out how fast you might be able to go, I have Finally found one that makes some freaking sense for the Rear Sprocket and its Speed/Power ratio! (to me at any rate)

In the general disguise of a Video Game layout of: Acceleration/Power, Top Speed, Inner/Outer Diameter for the Rear Sprocket, Provided by Bicycle-engines.com.

Bicycle Engine Sprocket Guide


We have several rear sprocket options available for our customers to “fine tune” their gas operated bicycle to achieve their desired optimal speed/power gear ratio.

A note to remember: The larger the rear sprocket, the slower the bike will go, but will have power to climb hills. The smaller the rear sprocket, the faster the bike will go, but will climb hills less effectively. You are trading power for speed or vice versa.

We offer sizes of 36 tooth, 44 tooth, 48 tooth, and 56 tooth sprockets in the Large 9-hole gear. The inner diameter is 1.4", hole spacing is 1". See table below for specifications. Commonly, the large 9-hole sprocket with 48 tooth configuration will come with the 4G T-Belt Drive 4-stroke engine kit.

The small 9-hole sprockets come in two sizes, 44 tooth and 50 tooth. The inner diameter is 1.39" and hole spacing is 1". See table below for specifications. The small 9-hole 44 tooth sprocket will come with the SkyHawk Angle Fire 2-stroke engine kit.
