changing the pulleys and doing some math to figure out what speed you want. but you have to be reasonable because you dont want to do 100 mph unless you have the power and the chassis stability to do that

which would make it faster a small pulley on the back or a big pulley

There's a lot more to it than that. Some internal modifications should be done on the transmission, or transaxle, whichever the case may be.

One should also think about safety. If you go much faster without tightening up the steering, or lowering the center of gravity, disastrous results could happen.

the danger is part of the thrill but it is a lot more fun when you can control it
