Lugging can be categorized as high-speed low-gear or low-speed high-gear. Driving at 50 km/h in 3rd gear falls under high-speed low-gear lugging. Below are the specific standards for gear shifting speeds: 1. 1st gear: Used for normal starts or climbing very steep slopes. The speed for this gear is around 10 km/h. 2. 2nd gear: A transitional gear for acceleration after starting, or for low-speed driving or climbing steep slopes. The speed for this gear is around 20 km/h. 3. 3rd gear: Used for speeds between 20-40 km/h, commonly used for city driving. 4. 4th gear: Used for speeds between 40-60 km/h. 5. 5th gear: Can be used at speeds of 60 km/h and above.
