I really like the idea of that hub but many reviews go on about it shifting into 2nd at too low of a speed.

Did you modify hub?
I guess depending on gearing 12mph isn’t that slow. It’s actually about right for a commuter bike if you’re not trying to be like a spandex hamster while running errands.

My take probably isn’t the normal BF take on the subject. If when you get to your destination your shoes go click click all over the floor… maybe the bike is more a toy than transportation, which is fine also, but a different thing.
