Where does that lose power? If I can't get up the hill in 5th but you can I go up in 4th at the same RPMs you are at in 5th and the same speed.
I don't know where I lose power. I lose hole shot with the ratio because it will spin up faster with the lower tooth gear in lower gears. Once the weight is moving and our motors at over 3k my hole shot disadvantage ends and the taller gears take over. 16 or 17t vs. a 19t is like having a 6 gear transmission on the fast end.
The power is not lost its moved from the hole shot to the top end. Now if we had different red lines you would be correct.
