Hello,
I have a formula, that works pretty well, for converting RPMs to MPH. What I am trying to do now though is figure out how much weight would effect the motor. Based on the formula, I get about 89.25 miles for a motro running at 3000RPM with a 10in wheel. What I would like to do now is figure out how adding weight to the wheel would effect the speed. Is there a formula to figure this?
Thanks,
Mike
If you maintain the same RPM (assuming the clutch doesn't slip and you're not running in overdrive), weight shouldn't matter. RPM just tells you how fast the motor is turning over, MPH just tells you how fast your wheels are rotating.
Final mph won't be affected. Acceleration will.
Stumble It!
