Low (Gear)
From WikiPedalia
A low gear is one in which the pedals move rapidly compared to the speed of the wheels.
Low gears make the pedals easy to push, but you need to turn them faster to get the bike to move at a good speed.
Low gears are achieved by using small chainwheels and large rear sprockets.
Low gears are used for climbing hills, or for starting up from a stop.
