Any setup over 100 gear inches would be a stretch to spin very fast unless you could adopt a bent over position to reduce aero drag and you went with low rolling resistance lightweight tires and rims. I believe the xootr swift site states that at 90 gear inches and 120 rpm you will go 27 mph. Anything over 19 mph the aero drag increases a lot with each additional mph.
