Spring time comning up and I fancy a bit of messing about...
Reading through Flecc's highly clear and informative web pages, it would seem interesting to change the gearing on my 8 speed hub geared Kalkhoff.
The best bet seems to change to 9 tooth front motor cog for an 11 tooth rather than the rear 23 for an 18 or 19. I say this partly because the increased cadence would put me closer to what I am used to on my non-powered bike as well as up the gearing a bit.
Has anyone done this and can give practical observations on the effects on rideability and range?
