how would this gears would make it go faster?

shorter/"lower" gear increases the mechanical leverage .... so while the notor generates the same torque (or power) at each RPM, the torque available at the driving wheels (through the transmission/gears) at higher.

so you have more power available for acceleration, but the linear ground speed 'costs' more engine speed... so you run out of revs, so to speak.
