| The
overall gear reduction is the RPM time the rolling radius of the loaded
driving tyre divided by 168 times the vehicle speed in miles per hour
Where:
168 = Factor
RPM = Revolutions per minute of engine
r = Rolling radius of loaded driving tyre in inches
R = Overall gear reduction including both axle and transmission
MPH = Vehicle speed in miles per hour
Example:
Find out overall gear reduction of a vehicle where the motor speed is
1680 RPM, the rolling radius of loaded driving tyre is 15 inches and the
MPH is 15.

The
overall gear reduction is the RPM time the rolling radius of the loaded
driving tyre divided by 168 times the vehicle speed in miles per hour
Where:
2651.51 = Factor
RPM = Revolutions per minute of engine
r = Rolling radius of loaded driving tyre in millimetres
R = Overall gear reduction including both axle and transmission
KPH = Vehicle speed in kilometres per hour
Example:
Find out overall gear reduction of a vehicle where the motor speed is
1680 RPM, the rolling radius of loaded driving tyre is 381mm and the KPH
is 24.
