What is a gear reduction starter?

A gear reduction starter incorporates internal gears to decrease the electric motor's speed while simultaneously increasing torque. This design enables more effective engine cranking, particularly in applications involving high compression or heavy-duty requirements.

Why choose an offset gear reduction starter over a direct-drive starter?

Offset gear reduction starters provide several advantages: they deliver higher torque output, feature a more compact and lightweight motor design, perform better in cold-start conditions, require less power from the battery, and offer improved longevity.
