After researching tire sizing, I've found a set of Dual Sport tires to replace the current knobby tires.

Front Rim: 1.4x19
Rear Rim: 1.6x16

Stock Front Tire: 70/100-19
Stock Rear Tire: 90/100-16

Replacement Front Tire: 2.75-19
Replacement Rear Tire: 3.00-16

Rim to Tire size chart

It looks like my final gear ratio setup is determined. I will have to double check the diameter of the replacement tire before I order any sprockets though.

Max Motor Speed @ 60V: 3750 RPM
Motor to Trans: 1.7:1 (10t to 17t)
Trans to Wheel: 4:1 (12t to 48t)
Max speed: 35.5mph

I also ordered a ton of parts from TNC Scooters, and major components from eBay.

Money spent so far: $507
