I’ve read it comes with a 22 tooth cog . My Electra has a 44 tooth chain ring and the rear cog is 22 tooth now . So it looks like no change in low gear , but an increase in speed in second if my understanding is correct .
Might consider changing the chainring out for a 38 or a 40 tooth .
Similar to the Sram Automatix. 1.00 low and 1.36 high.
My Sram did not come with a coaster brake, looks like they quit making that version a while back. Kind of annoying as I'll lose a rear brake unless I buy a caliper, cable, and lever. Turning an inexpensive bike into something more expensive is something I'm prone to do.
