It's the nature of mechanics. Get a mountain bike that has 3 sprockets in the front and like 7 in the back and switch through them. That's the best way to feel the differences 
If you have a bigger one in the back as opposed to the stock one you will have more torque (at the rear wheel) with the same amount of HP. But with that you will have lower speeds because one rotation of the front sprocket (which is smaller) will put half (or maybe less) of rotation on the rear sprocket therefore less rotation on the rear wheel.

You can order chain and sprockets directly from Sprocket Specialists website. I think Shugga can hook you up at the Stuntlife store also.

it brings more power at a lower MPH
Stock 7500 rpm @ 40MPH
GEared 7500 rpm @ 25MPH
More Rpm = More HP = Easier to control
Its all So you can have the same conrol as a fast wheelie at lower MPH
