Why Upgrading Your Rear Sprocket Is One of the Smartest Mods You Can Make

When it comes to electric motos, few upgrades change your ride’s feel as dramatically as swapping out the rear sprocket. Whether you’re riding a Sur-Ron Light Bee, Talaria Sting R, E-Ride Pro, 79 Bike, or Rawrr ZR, your sprocket setup directly controls how your bike puts power to the ground.

What a Rear Sprocket Does

The rear sprocket is part of your bike’s final drive system — it determines the gear ratio between the motor and the rear wheel. In short, the number of teeth on your sprocket affects torque, acceleration, and top speed:

  • More teeth (bigger sprocket) = stronger acceleration and better hill-climbing.

  • Fewer teeth (smaller sprocket) = higher top-end speed and smoother cruising.

It’s the perfect tuning tool for your riding style. Trail riders and stunt fans love the punch of a 54T or 58T sprocket, while urban commuters might prefer a 52T for a balanced feel.

Why Riders Upgrade

OEM sprockets get the job done, but performance ones like Warp 9 Racing sprockets take things to the next level. Upgraded sprockets are made from CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum, cutting unnecessary weight while maintaining strength. They’re precision-cut for smoother chain engagement, reduced wear, and more consistent power delivery.

Plus, they just look better — Warp 9 sprockets come in anodized finishes that make your Sur-Ron or Talaria stand out while you’re ripping the trails or rolling downtown.
