If you have a bike with direct drive, like the old penny farthings and a kids tricycle, then the size of the drive wheel will seriously limit the speed you can get. But with a chain drive you can also introduce a gear ratio, allowing the drive wheel to spin faster than the pedals, making it possible to go faster.
