I think 6mph. If you have the manual it is some times listed in there.

I can't find any data on the speed on the early 60s Wheel Horses.  I did find in the '64 brochure, speeds up to 6 mph with the 3 speed transmission.

There are free speedometer apps available for smart phones.  I have one downloaded on my iphone called speed box.  It works very well.  Haven't tried it on the :wh: yet.

I don't have a WH yet. Looking at a 551 tonight. 

Last time I downloaded one of those speed apps was when I got an all Billet 46cc motor for my 1/5 scale RC truck. Zip tied my iphone to the truck and was doing 60+ MPH passes while lifting the front wheels. 

Needless to say after a few passes it flipped and that iPhone was destroyed!!!

haha
