48x18. Can get 32mph on the flat for short bursts, and commuting in London there are few moments where that is possible safely anyway. I have tried higher gears but I end up going more slowly - acceleration is slower and only pacing mopeds etc (again rarely possible safely) do you need more than 30mph anyway.
