They don't need to change anything since they sell every bike in production! I don't find the gearing bad at all and I only wish for one more smaller gear that's smaller. You don't need an 8 speed hub and quite frankly, a four speed would be ideal and five is enough!
My first bicycle was a three speed Dahon Piccolo and I was able to ride that bike for over 5 thousand miles climbing hills of all sorts! And walking up others!
