Can the coaster brake on this Nexus Hub be deactivated?
I have this on my tricycle and want to transfer it to a single-speed bike.
But I don't want the coaster brake.
Is there any easy solution to this?
Thanks

Or is there a way to purchase an internal with a freewheel sprocket?

take it apart, remove the reaction arm, that connects it to the frame ,
perhaps..
No personal experience having done this, to that product.
Internals gear hubs incorporate a freewheel mechanism in them,
then to change the gearing range, all you swap is 1 sprocket,
typically held in place with a snap ring.
Most 3 speed hubs have the spline in common, by now,
3 tabs in sprocket, following standard set by Sturmey Archer 100 years ago.

I read OP as putting a 3 speed on a single speed frame,
BTW, the dropout width is what in the 2 wheel bike?
I'd just leave the 3 wheel trike alone.. buy/build a different wheel
for the soon to be 3 speed bike.
