I have a vitus vee single gear! It's a dream, all you have to worry about is riding. I live in a flat city and mostly ride with my kids so is a non-issue, but I've had a few bikes now with no gears (having not even realised they existed) and I love them.
Takes me back to the good old Raleigh Chopper/Grifter days...
[drifts into rose-tinted memories]
Looks and feels great to ride.
"Adjusting the rear wheel is difficult, it pulls over a lot and then rubs on the rear forks" and " rear wheel pulls out of line..."
The only times wheels pull over is if they haven't been fitted right and not tightened enough by the nut or quick release lever.
In extreme cases the frame may be out of alignment and then they will always rub. But this is not a common event. (edited)
Fantastic reviews at RRP (£429.99), an absolute bargain at under £300.
If I didn't already own a hub gear city bike I'd be all over this.

I read that review as well. My immediate thought was that it was written by somone who didn't know how to put a wheel on a bicycle.
Don't think that kit has the right sensors for hydraulic breaks but good idea in general. Yose4lyf
If you don't want a front brake
Need more reviews like this, to your point n done
I'd personally do a mid-drive motor conversion and make use of those three gears!
Don't like the sound of a hi-tensile steel fork though. Sounds rough
