Can cruise all day at 50 and can get to 55 now. If I changed the rear sprocket to something like a 46T or 45T I think 60 is possible. While I think 70 could be possible I don't think it's very probable or practical. I think the problem with getting a Hawk to be able to achieve that speed you would have to gear it to the point you wouldn't have enough torque to pull a greased string out of a cat's behind. Just for reference I'm 6' and bounce around 245-250lbs. Obviously if you're lighter the Hawk will be a little faster.

Do you think you could re gear the transmission?
