Electra single speed to three speed.
I have a 2020 Electra Cruiser 1 and just picked up a NOS three speed Nexus hub/shifter. It came with everything but the cog. Can I use my existing 22T cog and single speed chain? I was thinking about going to a 20T or even 19T as I live in FL and this will be for just some neighborhood/MUP all flat type riding. Anything else I need to be aware of to install? I'll be having my shop do it and hope it's not too complicated.
Thanks for any input.

Live not by lies.
?
Do both hubs have three divots where the cog slides on?

I'm not sure, I'll have to look as the Nexus hub hasn't arrived yet, I just bought it yesterday. If they don't match should I take this as an opportunity to change out my cog at the same time to a 18/19/20T based on where I ride (all flat)? Also, with the three speed hubs, do the same single speed chains work? I'm assuming they do as there is no cassette where thickness may matter?
