better pic of the hub...
also, what gearing are you running? (front chainring teeth and rear sprocket teeth) might need to change the gearing.

Is it that the hub is worn out or you want more gears? I have a NOS coaster hub if you want to swap. If you want a 2 speed that'll cost you $50-100 from the bay or someone on the site and a 3 speed is reasonable but you have to run some cable. You can also get a 5 speed and you will need a derailluer and new a chain and more cables. Good luck!

the hub on it has no lettering on it or the rim but the tire says s-7 but i they loops have the little lines down the middle but the hub says shimano ? when i bought it had a derailer and a 5 speed gear stick ! can i put my sturmey 3 speed hub on it ? or is that just whack ? and i am going to buy me a new tire for it ?

Wait Wait, what year is your bike? It should have an s-7 rear wheel. It should have an s-2. There are sturmey archer 3 speed s-7's out there and it'll work but if you want original find an s-2. Shimano is junk anyways that is why you arent going anywhere!
