If I add an extra tooth on the front sprocket then I'm pushing more chain around per rotation. The chain connects to our load, the rear wheel as we all know. If the chain is now moving faster than standard due to an extra tooth on the front then we're presenting more load to the motor for a given RPM compared to the standard ratio's at the same RPM. So basically the rear wheel turns further for the same RPM. This is all good assuming the motor has the torque to pull it off.
