how small are the gears?

They are not too big nor too small. If you're worried your child will swallow, you're ok he/she will just be able to mouth it.

About 3-4 inches around, close to an inch high. Great for kids about 4-6 maybe even a little older. No small pieces for little ones to get into. this is a great educational toy. Might need an adult to help them get the hang of it, but when they do it is magic.

Troy These are factory Dana 35 side gears. If you need an exact measurement I will get that Monday when I get back into the office.Thank you!

In moderate-to-light use, I've had no problems with the gears. And, since the driving motor is not really powerful, it seems likely that even plastic gears would not be likely to fail.

They are scaled down somewhat. They are not tiny, but my 5yr old grand son can Handel them quite well. His 3 yr old sister can almost handle them.

They are fairly small. I would say that the size in the picture is pretty accurate.

I is a little small. I bought it for a 3 year old and now she is turning 4 this Sunday and still rides it, but she is short.

As young as 3 or 4 on up. I think my youngest was 4 when he got them...and he LOVED playing with these cool gears. Easy for little hands and fingers to manipulate.

There are no real gears. The only thing that peals the apples is your arm strength. Hope this helps. Martha

Quite a lot for a small motor. However, its a lot smaller than it looks and is hard to mount since the screwholes are so small. Also, the driveshaft wont take any side force.

Magnetic gears or in general? I have not tried them with other gear sets--I'm sure that is something we will want to purchase in the future too--but I don't see why they would not work with other gears, provided they are roughly the same size and plastic. The gear sizes in this kit, including the teeth, range from two to three inches. All the teeth on the gears are about a finger thick, and I have small hands for a women. I hope this helps. I continue to get compliments on these gears a year later from everyone, parents included!

Good question. It is definitely a one gear bike. Perhaps they are referring to the size of the rear sprocket and the front sprocket which are of two different sizes. Having said that, you might consider a folding bike with multiple gears. I bought this bike for my wife and it is fine on the level. I have a Dahon with multiple gears and it is much easier to peddle on grades.

There's a small rubber band at the left front. The rest of the area is plastic gears
