A little more accurate to say that Sachs made a 2-speed kickback coaster. Sachs also made a Torpedo brand 3 speed coaster hub that was shifted with a traditional trigger shift and cable setup just like S-A. An excellent reliable hub with no maintenance necessary except for a broken cable wireonce a decade or so. Pictured are three such bikes I have owned and used over the past decade equipped with a Sachs Torpedo 3 speed with standard trigger shifter.
