They may also be found in use on other light vehicles such as motor tricycles and quadbikes , go-karts , offroad buggies, auto rickshaws , mowers, and other utility vehicles, microcars , and even some superlight racing cars.

  4. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    Typical gear ratios on bicycles range from very low or light gearing around 20 gear inches (1.6 metres per revolution), via medium gearing around 70 gear inches (5.6 m), to very high or heavy gearing around 125 gear inches (10 m). As in a car, low gearing is for going up hills and high gearing is for going fast.

    A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines. This is because of their ability to operate at very high speeds.
