I quite familiar with internal hubs. In fact, I build almost all my bikes with them. I mention the single speed possibility because on the specs of all their bikes only one mentions having a Nexus hub and from the pictures I cannot see a shifter on the handle bars. Also those handlebars look too short to fit the grips, shifter, and brakes from my experience. They may have internally geared hubs, but they’re not letting people know that.
