Do you think bicycles work on the moon?

What kinds of Earth transportation (golf carts?) could work in environments with low gravity like the moon? Which wouldn’t?

do we need gears for the moon where this is much less friction

Fixie would make more sense since you can reverse. Since gravity is comical at the moon, reversing on a lunar vehicle might be necessary compared to quickly making a U turn.

You wouldn’t really need gears although they would be nice. A fixie might also be great since it has a very simple architecture, especially compared to geared bicycles.
