WHEELS / TOOL 02

Speed display.

Changed wheels or pulleys? Estimate why the speedometer is off, then find the setting your remote offers.

01 / SETUP CHANGE

Your wheel setup

Enter the installed wheel diameter and, for a belt drive, the pulley teeth. Add the previous setup only if you know it.

If you’re keeping a pulley, enter its tooth count in both columns.

Wheel size and gearing determine distance traveled per motor rotation. Comparing before and after requires both setups.

YOUR REMOTE

Find the display setting

The full checklist below works with any board. Select your exact remote for verified menu details.

For hub or direct drive, select that drive type and enter the wheel diameters. Tire wear, inflation, and deformation can change effective rolling diameter. Remote-reading estimates assume its old setup was calibrated and it derives speed from motor rotation; firmware may behave differently.

02 / ESTIMATED ERROR

What the remote may show

Speed at the same motor RPM+16.7%
If the remote stays on the old setupReads 14.3% low

The percentage describes the mismatch if your remote still uses the old setup. It is not a value to enter into the remote.

Estimated actual speed—

At fixed motor RPM: speed change = (new wheel ÷ old wheel) × (old gear ratio ÷ new gear ratio), where gear ratio = wheel pulley teeth ÷ motor pulley teeth. This does not predict maximum speed.

Calculations describe ideal geometry. Actual ride speed and remote behavior depend on the board and its firmware.
