This is probably why it is so hard to find anything that has multiple speeds.
In most of the USA if the top speed is >30MPH (>40MPH in some states like FL), the cc's are more than 50cc, you need a motorcycle endorsement.
Gears matter very little in many places; although they make very little sense on bikes going below 35MPH.
