Downhill, as fast as gravity would take them. On the flat it would be very much dependent on rider skill.

Treat it as a math exercise:

- an average rider can turn the wheel at 100 RPM(rotations per minute)

- wheel diameter is basically 2 x inseam length

That should give you enough to calculate the speed of a penny farthing.
