Electric trike

[Bobby]

hey guys. i have a 110v motor, batteries and everything to make it work i just need to know what you guys would suggest as a gear ratio. it would weigh about 200-300LBS including rider. it is a normal trike design not a reversed one. all three tires are 26" and the motor spins at 1750RPMs max.

i made a similar idea just i had made it with a better engine and 26" wheel's in rear and my gear's was
motor
l
34-10
.....l
10-34
l
26inch wheel

or near to get speed and hp at the same time

well i was trying to stay away from jackshafts because i would have to buy the bearings and everything for it and it would cost more money so because of that ( and cause i dont want to use chain) im using pulleys as my drive system.

Motor
l
?ratio on axle


P.S this is going to be a completly self contained system. meaning it charges itself as it goes.

then you need a alternator and a motor then reach the high rpm around 4k rpm best and belt not the best but cheap lol

i know i need an alternator i also need an inverterr because the motor is 110v. but the max rpms are 1750 so can somebody help with the ratio im thinking of using a lawnmower transaxle but would that be too much for a motor to handle.

Thanks
