There's several possible solutions for that. Learn to rev the engine higher in each gear (not a good idea until it's broken in) or (if you aren't a large person and you aren't pointed up hill) start in 2nd gear. This is not a good thing to do all the time but as you gain experience, you should try it a time or two because that skill can come in handy sometimes.
I was almost hating my new (to me) little bike for it's low gearing until I came here and found out about the 16T "miracle".
Best 65 bucks I ever spent (I'm lazy. The shop did it for me.)
