I need to go to 30/75 to keep the tire/gearing ratio the same.
The gear wizard may say this but that is way overgeared with a pede no matter what tires you use. The weight of the pede is a real factor which the wizard doesn't account for. When I do speed runs in my bandit(with a lehner 5300 and 9918 controller) it is usually geared 30/72. That gearing in a bandit really gets the motor hot after just a few passes and this is in a bandit with buggy size tires on 8 cells usually.

Ya never know maybe your controller and motor will handle it but I doubt it. I would start at 25/84 and work from there.


EDIT:
Here is the spur gear I use for those runs.
