with an internal hub you can't change while in motion?

What makes you think that? I didn't see anything that says it's not a normal internal hub? It does look like fun.

Except for drum brakes... I'm not optimistic about their stopping power... Last time I rode anything with drum brakes, it was a weetie little 125cc moto, and it was grab a big handful of nuthin'-happens.

I have never had an internal hub ...!

Kids these days... (No seriously, you started on a derailleur bike? I thought all kids' bikes still had internal hubs? Or do you just mean you've never serviced an internal hub? Which I sure haven't, either!)

I take that back! I did have a 3 speed. I'm just so old I forgot!!! I definately never serviced one. You can change gears while pedaling but it has a tendency to skip gears.

oooohhh... I thought when you said you stop pedaling to change gears, I was thinking you had to stop and change gears. Duh! I've never ridden an internal hub before, so I have no idea how they work. You just have to stop pedaling (still in motion) to change gears. I get it.
