hi Michael… I’d look into a taller tire to get more speed but I think 31 is good for a 5hp motor… you might look at a 7.5 hp from Ride4Fun… used ones are kind of iffy… where are you? remember that the faster you go the less far you will go… there is always a trade off Bob ---

Michael… I had no luck when I tried to change the settings in my controller… gave up as I really don’t understand electricty… there is a lot of info in this yahoo group: [NEVs : Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs)](http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/NEVs/) see the data base and search controller… there is a guy in San Diego who can walk you thru the programing… contact me thru a pm and I’ll give you his info… Bob ---

Hi Bob, Looks like I’m in the same boat as Michael. I’m a newbie GEM owner and would also like to raise the max speed of mine above 25 mph. I live in San Diego. Would you mind letting me know how to contact him as well? Thanks, Scott ---
