A way to understand gearing. Take a 25lb weight and hold in your hand.
Start with it close to your body = lower gear ratios.
Now extend your arm until it is straight out = higher gear ratios.
The 4,6, or 10 steps of extending your arm would be the shifts through the gears from 1st to the top gear. The amount of effort for you to hold the weight is like torque. The amount of effort to hold it over time is power.
