Sturmey Archer sells a 3 speed/ drum brake combo and a drum brake front hub.

That's how I would do it for a rider bike. Run a new Sturmey Drum or Coaster 3 speed rear with a Sturmey drum in front. Customize the rear cog size to suit your needs; they use a standard snap-on system. I don't fool with the old Sturmey coasters. They were not very good as brakes go.
The Bendix red band 2 speed is an option on the back, but has less range and is not as easy to customize rear cogs. The brakes on them are usually pretty good though.

There were a lot of manual shift Bendix two speed hubs in the 60s.
