Just got done looking at the trike hubs. So far they all had coaster brakes. Was hoping to start off trying this on a 3 speed.

Back in the 50's when I was Bodging together my 3 cubed 27 speed (3x3x3) my fellow Boy scout frien's Dads made a 2 by 3

a 2nd 3 speed hub was mounted high Up on top of the seat stays-seat tube triangle ,

primary chain from the crank to the hub cog, final drive off the hubshell with a sprocket attached to where the spokes mount ,
It drives the other hub in the rear wheel .

Now the hubs with such a second chain sprocket are common, made for upright Trikes
