no i dont think there to low, but you will just have to watch the rpm's to maintain the right speed, id sure think you would be able to go 75 or more with them gears and not be over reving the engine.

Depends on what size tires are on it. The taller they are, the fewer rpms your motor will turn at any given speed.
