i doubt one can find a 3 speed aux. small and light enough , but
they have some electric 2 -speed that are light weight , or used too.
it might not accelerate fast but think of the fun shifting 15 forward gears ,
keep that little power plant wound up to peak torque with WOT and row your way to the next stoplight with the gear lever

Excess gears = higher drivetrain losses.
