But the chainguard can get in the way of the reflectors and impede the
operation of the kickstand.

A decent bike shop could have found you a replacement 3 speed hub if they
had wanted to.

For those of you that don't know, one advantage over multiple sprockets is
that a proper chain guard can be fitted.

I find myself at a crossroad and soliciting comments on folding bikes.

I want one with speeds, My ~35 year old folding bike has been through
numerous tires and even a couple of wheels. When it was new it was a
three speed but when that rear hub died the local shops told me they
couldn't get one with speeds so I settled for what was in stock.
