Took a closer look at your jackshaft. It looks as if you have about 40 teeth on the input sprocket on the jackshaft, and 8 on the motor? The first stage would then be about 5:1
The total gear ratio, to get 30MPH at 8000 RPM with a 26 inch tire is 20.6:1
Since you already have approximately 5 to 1, you would need another 4.1:1 reduction between the jackshaft and the rear axle.
In order to be able to coast downhill, you really should have a freewheel on either the rear axle (LH threads) or on the output of the jackshaft (RH threads.)
If it's on the jackshaft, about the smallest standard freewheel you can get is 16T, so, the axle sprocket would need to be about 66 teeth.
