I have a rear end out of an ezgo golf cart that was a gas motor.I am going to put a sprocket on the pinion shaft and dont realy know how to figure what # of teeth i will need.i havent picked a motor yet but it will be small (go kart or a small atv motor) and the gears in the rear end is 11 to 1 with a 18 inch tire.if someone has done this i would realy appresiate the imput.. i am also wonting it to be able to carry me and a passanger up hills like at uwarry (thats why im building) thanks
 
your engine and CVT will determine what you'll need for the ratio between that and the axle.

With most typical CVTs, and your 11:1 ratio on the axle, I don't think I'd go much more than 3:1 ratio between the CVT and the axle.

I'd go with prob. about an 80 series chain as well or at least use that as a starting point.
