My current town bike, as have all iterations for decades, have the same '50's AW/Cyclo 3 cog hybrid drive train fitted.
The best and worst of IGH/Derail systems combined.
Finicky, obtuse and requiring an advanced degree in mathematics to divine the correct shift pattern to engage the "next" gear:
"Let's see is it one cog
Down and shift
Up on the hub, or the other way 'round?"
