high-geared

high-geared
[1] A transmission (even like the chain system on a bicycle) where a large gear drives a small one. The larger the drive gear and the smaller the driven gear the higher the gear ratio. It will result in high speed, but is poor for getting started from a stop.
[2] A vehicle's transmission system which has a higher than usual gearing, to improve fuel economy.
