Puch Maxi Sprocket Ratios

April 18, 2025 Remco JMPB

If you ride a Puch Maxi, you know that gear ratios play a big role in how your moped performs.
Whether you're aiming for top speed, torque, or a comfortable all-round setup, the right combination of front and rear sprockets makes all the difference.

Standard Sprocket Ratio

The original factory setup of a Puch Maxi is usually:

• Front sprocket: 15 teeth

• Rear sprocket: 45 teeth

That gives a 1:3 ratio – ideal for everyday use, offering a good balance of pulling power and top speed.

What happens if you change the ratio?

By changing the sprockets, you can tune your moped to fit your riding style:

• More teeth in the front (e.g. 16T or 17T)

  • Higher top speed

  • Less torque

• Fewer teeth in the front (e.g. 13T or 14T)

  • More torque

  • Lower top speed

• Fewer teeth in the rear (e.g. 42T or 40T)

  • Higher speed

  • Less low-end power

• More teeth in the rear (e.g. 48T or 50T)

  • A lot of torque

  • Lower top speed
