WOW!! only 5K rpms max, that is not enough, Check the weights in your VARIATOR and weigh them I bet they are on the heavy side.

You can get more rpms by just going to lighter weights.

Heavier weights will lower your RPMS.
Lighter weights will raise your RPMS.

ROLLERS: For every gram you go up or down from your current weights your RPMS will change by 500-600.
SLIDERS: For every gram you go up or down from your current
weights your RPMS will change by 200-350.

So for example: Currently your max RPMS are 5K:

If your current weights are say 23grams and you get 20gram weights you will pick up 1500 rpms
so now your max rpms will be 6500K.
Just checked the specs on your trike and it makes its max hp at 6500 rpms so your 1500 rpms low.
What you want to do is get weights that will get close to that 6500 rpms range. So if it only is going to 5k you can get 2 and 3 gram lighter weights.

If putting in all say 20 gram weights from 23 and it appears to much you can then put half of the lighter ones and half of the heavier ones to lower the rpms a bit, So they won't go to waste.

Going up hills do your RPMS DROP or just the MPH?

A well tuned CVT will hold the RPMS going up hills and the only thing you will loose is some mph due to the weight holding it back, Even a car will do the same thing.

What you need is for the scoot to be able to run at 65 mph and still have some throttle left so that when you do hit the hills at 65 at the bottom you have something left to give it to keep the speed up going up the hill.


So the question about loosing RPMS going up a hill is the key to what can be done to help with what you want it to do.
