On the six speed setup it is a regular looking three speed hub with one cable comming out trough the axle on the right side of the bike.

If you ride it as a three speed you can notice that there is quite a big gap between the gears.

Only difference to the hub is that you can put two sprockets on it instead of one. The second gear cable is used to shift the chain between these two sprockets. 2 x 3 = 6

Tip: Look for a YouTube video. Often much more informative than pictures.
