Default What's the normal stock gear ratio...

On an '89 EZGO electric marathon. I saw it in a thread somewhere and now I can't find it. Also... would anyone happen to know where I can find a gear ratio-to-sprocket calculator? I had a link saved on my old computer for finding it out on my streetbike. But I don't have it on this one.
Thanks, monkeyboy

Thanks, monkeyboy
If you want to now what gear you have know. You will have to pull your motor. Slowly rotating the rear tire as you count the rotation on the input shaft. If you have a 12:1 gear, the back tire will rotate 360 degrees as the input shaft will rotate 12 complete turns.

Can you explain this a little better? Gear ratio-to-sprocket calculator?
I have a speed chart that takes the gear alone with rear tire size & rpm and Calculates your speed. Hopes this helps.

You don't need to pull anything. It's 12:1

I thought it was 12:1. I knew it was pretty high(numerically) compared to a car.
As for the sprocket conversion chart. I'll start looking for it. I might be dreaming to. I might've been looking at a sprocket to speed calculator. All I can remeber is I used it to figure out how what gears I needed to make my brothers ninja 250 do 110mph. Like I said I'll look...
I'm thinking about getting a sprocket made to put on the input shaft (just to try it). I know I should just find a gas rear-end.
And does anyone got any ideas on where the cheapest batteries would be found? I found the local battery store was $70 for there brand and $90 for exides. So I haven't cancelled out the idea of staying electric. But does wal-mart, or k-mart, or rural king carry golf cart batteries? I always like to shop around locally if I can.
Thanks for the replies! Maybe I'll figure out what I'm actually doing and have my own knowledge to share. I stayed up until 1:08 this morning reading thru all the extreme DC posts and some of the EZGO posts....

Your local battery dealer will have the best prices. DO NOT buy them online.
