Motors & Gearing: Gear Ratio, Wheel Speed, Torque & the Ramp Test
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You compare four fictional motor-and-gearbox options for Pip: wheel speed and top speed from the gear ratio, the torque at the wheel after gearbox losses and the torque each wheel needs to climb a 15° ramp.
