Gear ratio represents the relationship between the rotations of the input gear and the output gear. A gear ratio of 3:1 means that for every three turns of the input gear, the output gear turns once. In other words, the input gear must complete three revolutions to cause the output gear to complete one revolution.
It depends on your needs, a lower gear ratio will provide and support higher top speeds while a higher gear ratio will provide faster acceleration but lower top speeds.
Gear ratios are used in any mechanical system that has two gears running together. This can include bikes, vehicles, fishing reels, and more.
Typically, the lower the gear ratio the better the gas mileage will be.
