a few things on gearing;

-weight of a vehicle
-demanded topspeed vs acceleration (onroad/offroad)
-overgearing is a killer (too small motor/controller for the gearing, thats overgearing)

and ofcourse, the used setup, amount of cells (and the power that these particular cells can deliver), torque of the motor etc.

the very very best way to examine the gearing is with a eagletree setup. that's the lesson i could give you. That and the knowledge that the best cells out there only deliver about .85 -.95 volts on a 100A load..
