Gears are a way of trading power for speed, or the other way around.
They let you keep turning the pedals at a comfortable rate/resistance regardless if you are heading up hill, staying on the flat or going downhill under power.
I think you mean bike gears, because a faster speed means a better time (the shorter it will take you to get to wherever you are going).That's just common sense.With bike gears though:Higher gears are tougher to petal but allow you to put more push into each stroke.Lower gears are easier to petal but you will petal a lot more often per rotation of the bike wheels.Example: If on high gears it takes you 5 pushes to get to your destination, it will take you 15 pushes with low gears.
It depends on the bike if the engine of bike is heavy it has more gears. Usually 5 gears are max gears.
Gears on a bike are a type of wheel and axle simple machine. As the pedals turn the circular motion into rotational motion, the gears on the bike increase or decrease the force needed to propel the bike forward.

To add gears to a bike, you will need to install a gear system called a derailleur. This system allows you to change the resistance on the bike by shifting gears. You will also need to install a gear shifter on the handlebars to control the gears. It is recommended to seek assistance from a professional bike mechanic to ensure proper installation and functionality.
MotoGP bikes have 6 gears.
depends on the model. from 2-7 gears
When you pedal hard, the chain on your bike may skip gears due to a misalignment of the chain and the gears. This can happen if the chain is worn out, the gears are dirty or damaged, or if the derailleur is not properly adjusted. It is important to maintain and tune your bike regularly to prevent this issue.
Your bike gears may not be shifting properly due to issues such as cable tension, derailleur alignment, or worn out components. It is recommended to have a professional bike mechanic inspect and adjust your gears to ensure they function correctly.
Your bike gears may not be shifting smoothly due to issues such as cable tension, derailleur alignment, or worn-out components. It is recommended to have a professional bike mechanic inspect and adjust your gears to ensure smooth shifting.
To determine the number of gears on a bike, count the number of cogs on the rear wheel's cassette and the number of chainrings on the front crankset. Add these two numbers together to find the total number of gears on the bike.
Using low bike gears requires less effort but provides less speed, while using high bike gears requires more effort but allows for greater speed.
