I've seen several threads mention an internally geared recumbent. I really don't want to build or have one customized with all the complications on dropouts and spacing. I'm hoping someone on this board can sum up the few factory equipped recumbents built for a rohloff hub or a Nexus 8 out of the box.

This thread tells of two internal hub equipped trikes. One with a 3 speed (worksman) one with a
rolhoff (Greenspeed). I'm sure there are others.

...internally geared recumbent... out of the box.
If you order a Greenspeed, you can not only get the Rholoff, but a Schlumph as well!
A good friend of mine has a GTR set up this way. It's amazing to shift, all 28 speeds and NO deraileurs! You can't go wrong with a Greenspeed!
Happy tricycling,
