Re: 2-Speed vs 1-Speed drivetrain
It doesn't. Not necessarily, at any rate.
All else being equal, the acceleration of a drive depends only on the speed to which it's geared - the faster the top speed, the lower the acceleration. A two-speed drive has two possible gear ratios, and thus the acceleration depends on which gear you're in, but there's no fundamental difference in the way it works aside from (maybe) some minor frictional losses in whatever shifting gearbox you have that you wouldn't have in a single-speed.
