John,
Actually, I miscalculated. 102 rpm would give you about a 1.7 mph top
speed in 5th gear. However, an advantage would be that you could
probably start off in 5th gear. With 175,000 ft-lb of torque, you're not
likely to stall. I should mention, however, that with a stock Eldo fuel
tank, you would have a range of about 40 ft between fill-ups.
It's a shame, but I'm beginning to think that whole thing might be
impractical.
