Just done a search on the RT Facebook group and most are running LI150 Box with 16/46. One running 17/46 but I reckon that might struggle on hills or headwind.

Mine is running an Li150 16/46, & went around the last Derby 150 fine. This is despite others telling me the gearing is wrong for my configuration.

RT195, MB version 4, 25mm PHBL, modified standard airbox

Edit. Corrected the typo front sprocket size to 16.
Didn’t enjoy 4.89 on the Kendal rally. Hills must be steeper ?

Somewhere near 5 would be better
I’ll change my gearing after the NRR this weekend.

I’m more a fuller figured gentleman and run it at 4.95 on a pacemaker box.
Great all rounder - it’s my go to scoot for the twisties and hills.

LI150 15/46, 30mm, v4 box. 60/110
Had 16/46 with a scootopia box and didn't like it.
Intend to put the 16 back on now it has the v4.
Still good as it is though.
