I have a bud that had a import 8 speed bike . had a generator in
the front hub , transmission in the rear hub . They even put a
/some capacitors in the system to keep the tail lite lite in case
ya stopped the bike for a short period . That bike was much
smoother than I remember the Sturmey Archer 3 speeds from way
back. I have a vague memory of trying to take a part one of those
Sturmey 3 speed hubs & parts & loose ball bearings
shooting all over place? , needless to say that hub never shifted
gears again .

Closest
would be the 3-speed hub gear.? Mainly found on kids bikes,
usually with the shifter on the crossbar.

Been
around for about 100 years, Sturmey Archer is who you need
to Google.? I think Shimano make them as well.

They
made a bit of a comeback with early electric bikes before it
was decided putting the motor inside the rear hub was a good
idea.
