is the 7hp motor have the same rpm spec as the 5hp ?
Yes both are 4100
The 7 will pull more tire size or a better gear ratio.

Rodney,
āBetterā means a higher number (12) or a lower (10) ratio?

10 , but you could even run the 8.x ratio.
just bought a 10.x yesterday . going to run it with my 5hp setup . iām curious with the weight reduction of lithium and the low sag , if well still accelerate as hard .
Writing a how to but canāt post with pics till I post 5 times? This is just space filler, sorry.

My stock GEM eS with factory 7hp, no controller mods, tall tires and a 6:1 gear tops out at 40mph and still spins the tires.
Talk to me about 6 to 1 gears. I want to build a āLow Riderā And 6 to 1 gears would be an advantage. Where, who from, how much and how noisy?

I bought the 6:1 gears from Marlon several years ago (and he seems to have disappeared). I think I paid about $350 for gears, bearings, seals. Thereās a little whine at very low speed when cold, otherwise totally quiet.
