john8460 New Member Jun 9, 2010 #1 I was just wondering if you get any more top end speed from a shift kit
T tim turbo Member Jun 9, 2010 #2 I have a shift kit on my bike,with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed rear hub ,and yes I get about 35 mph top end . THe best thing is the motor is not turning so many RPM,s.

Pablo Master Bike Builder & Forum Sponsor Jun 9, 2010 #3 Top speed is an engine power issue first, gearing second. The main thing about the shift kit is getting up to speed much, much faster.
