If I had one, I'd build it into my Moulton Stowaway.
At one point I modernized mine, with the SA 8-speed hub, and it was great fun to ride it that way, but where the bike was designed for no cables, it now had two --one for brake, one for shift. This way I could still separate the frame, but the truth was I just didn't. Too inconvenient. I eventually returned the Stowaway to stock, but still long for a little more gearing. This hub would be the best solution. Another solution would be a Nexus-4 with a coaster brake and automatic shift... but I just wasn't interested in that.
