It depends on whether you are talking about the front sprocket (the one at the pedals, called a chainring) or the sprocket at the rear derailleur.

The lowest gear at the front is the smallest sprocket/chainring. The lowest gear at the rear is the largest sprocket. So if you combine the smallest sprocket at the front with the largest sprocket in the rear you have the lowest gear available on your bike.

Does using low gear make you go faster?

Using low gear does not make you go faster. Low gear is typically used for situations where more power or torque is needed, such as going up steep hills or towing heavy loads. In general, using a higher gear will allow you to go faster because it provides more speed for the same amount of engine power.


What is a bicycle gear?

On a bike there's one(or more) front sprocket(s) by the pedals connected by a chain to one(or more) rear sprocket(s) by the rear wheel. As the wheel isn't driven directly by the pedals, and there's usually a difference in size between the front & rear sprocket this constitutes a gear.

What happens to power if you go from a big gear to a small gear?

If you move from a big chainwheel to a smaller chainwheel by the pedals, pushing the pedals will get easier. If you move from a big sprocket to a smaller sprocket by the rear wheel, pushing the pedals will get heavier.
