If you're into maintaining the natural aesthetics of the bike, I would also consider going 2 speed (no cables to the back or shifters to be found)... Here's SesameCrunch's Sachs kickback 2 speed Moulton.
And my Sachs Automatic 2 speed Mu Uno .. gearing on mine is 54" low and 74" high and covers either side of the of stock 62" Dahon Uno.. in practice, it has been perfect for riding in moderately hilly Marin county.
Although the Sachs hubs can be found (some NOS), they have been out of production for better than 30 years, however, one more hub to consider is the new, to be released soon, Sturmey 2 speed kick back hub as used on the new Pashley Moulton TSR-2
