I have a new Tomos Targa LX and it runs great on flat to slight inclines...problem is, there are tons of steep hills here. There is a 20 mph speed limit for mopeds in NC, but nobody's bugged me yet for goin 35...I've already planned on gettin a biturbo exhaust when the 300 mile break-in is passed, but does anyone have any other ideas for more torque? Any help would be appreciated....

I believe you can change the sprockets to give you more torque. However, you will sacrifice a bit of top end speed by doing this. I'm not exactly sure, but I think you make the back sprocket smaller to give you better acceleration, but like I said I'm not sure. I've seen it discussed on this board though.
Make the front sprocket smaller, or the back one larger, or a combination of both. They sell tomos sprockets at www.themopedjunkyard.com
I got a 27 tooth from themopedjunkyard. If the 25 tooth does for torque what
the 27 did for my top end, you'll enjoy riding a lot more.
bigger front sprocket > higher top speed, accelerates slower
smaller rear sprocket > higher top speed, accelerates slower
.......(same effect).......
smaller front sprocket > lower top speed, accelerates harder
bigger rear sprocket > lower top speed, accelerates harder
......(same effect)........
One tooth on the front has about the same effect as a change of 2 teeth on the back.
