I have ridden on long trips with other Ev27's. They didn't seem to have the high range power at highway speeds needed for a sustained burst of speed. Were talking 5 speeds here...4 and 5 being highway gears.

I have the EV27 and 10 to 1 pistons, my engine pulls real good from 2500 to 5000 rpm, I'm running a 33 drive pulley so I'm going 75 mph at 3000 rpm, which is perfect for the interstate, on my bike
