I think you'd be looking at the common stock gears (that as far as I know, is what they are putting in the non-lithium Onwards).

I have a 2018 Onward with stock gears, which are around 12:1 - 12.5:1.

I see the Lithium gears on eBay periodically because I think it is tough to get any speed out of them, but they'd be good for hunting carts and the like.

The OP I think was looking for 8:1 gears, which will deliver the top speeds for sure, but I hope there aren't hills involved or acceleration isn't something that is important. Efficiency in normal road situations is also likely to suffer.

Maybe if small tires are used in conjunction with those gears it could work OK, but I have no idea what his use conditions or goals are either, so 8:1 may work for whatever situation that might be.
