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.

∙ 11y agoThe PennyFarthing Bicycle (named after two coins :the penny and the farthing; because the one large coin and one small coin together looks like this bike) is a direct-drive bicycle, meaning the cranks and pedals are fixed directly to the hub. Instead of using "gears" to multiply the revolutions of the pedals, the driven wheel was enlarged to close to the rider's inseam, to increase the maximum speed. This shifted the rider nearly on top of the wheel, the big problem was the rider's feet could not reach the ground.
