Depending on the cvt they start out about 3.3:1 and they over drive to about 1:1.2 and then final drive will be about 4:1, I'll be looking for up to 1,000 rpm at top speed dependingon tire size.
A 3,500lb car, haha haha the leaf weighs around 3,800 pounds with me, the spare tire, my tool bag in it.

For throttle control I would use a long throttle cable.
Just a test platform. Not for driving around town with. I'm going to put it on a secondary state highway and see what it does.
