They started with those 3 hole sprockets with the RB200 for the disc brake. My first thought when I seen that bike was where are you going to find a 60 tooth for it. I think I saw a 53 tooth somewhere but that's not enough of a change to make a difference.
If you have the skills and tools you could get a 4 hole 60 tooth and line it up and clamp it to the 3 hole sprocket. Then drill the 3 bolt pattern. But I'm not sure if the center hole diameter would be the same as your sprocket.
It would climb hills better with a torque converter. But would climb even better with a 60 tooth and a torque converter. Another option is an 8 tooth on the torque converter with the 50 tooth. I have that gearing on one of my Colemans. Works well off road with the 196. Probably 45 mph or so if put on a flat road.

That's a carryover from the Tao manufactured Monster/Mega Moto MM-B212 Pro model which has a 3-hole 53T sprocket, the RB200 is basically a downgraded MM-B212 Pro (same frame, fewer features). There was an MM-B212 Mega Max (economy model) that had a different frame, no torque converter, no jackshaft, just a straight run from the clutch to the rear wheel, it had a 72T (IIRC) 3-hole sprocket. GPS used to carry that sprocket but I don't see it on their site, now.
