Automatic 3 speed?
on taobao, saw this...i cant read the foreign words, but i think it has a 3 speed Nexus, controlled by some sort of fancy auto electronic shifting...no hand shifter.
google translator said “computer control”...”fully automatic”.
this bike only cost about $200 USD.... brand new!!!
National = Panasonic...dynomo front hub.
incredible...the front wheel alone is worth 200 bux.

I don't know anything but that's a big contraption to automatically shift 3 gears or so. Maybe needs for a 50 lb bike

Reminds me of the Trek "Lime" bike:

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but bombed in the market.

Google instant translate confirms a three speed automatic:
Google's instant translate is always entertaining. The displayed output kept changing. One version said, "three bicycles under the chain" another also mentioned "love".
