gears and wheel and axle
The rear derailleur pulley in a bicycle's gear shifting system guides the chain to move smoothly between different gears, allowing the rider to change the resistance and speed of pedaling.
The chain on a bicycle moves through the derailleur by being guided by the pulley wheels and cage of the derailleur. When the rider shifts gears, the derailleur moves to adjust the tension on the chain, allowing it to smoothly transition between different gears on the cassette or chainrings.
Bicycles with external gears have two, one guide pulley and one tension pulley, both in the rear derailleur. Some bicycles have further pulleys on the frame for either the brake or the shifter wire to run over.
Yes, it is possible to install a motor on a bicycle equipped with gears.
That bicycle has 18 gears.
Chains mesh with sprockets without slipping. A pulley system would need to use higher tension(and suffer higher losses) to avoid slipping.
Bicycle gears work by changing the ratio of rotations between the pedals and the wheels. Lower gears make it easier to pedal uphill, while higher gears allow for faster speeds on flat terrain. Gears affect a bicycle's performance by providing the rider with the ability to adjust their effort and speed based on the terrain and conditions.
an average bicycle has up to 24 gears but a bicycle has up to 30 gears
The bicycle is not a simple machine, there are too many interacting moving parts.

The best bicycle gear removal tool for efficiently and effectively removing gears from a bicycle is a cassette lockring tool. This tool is specifically designed to securely grip the lockring on the cassette, allowing you to easily loosen and remove the gears.
