How compatible is 3 speed internal gear with sand?
I intend to buy one of those, and I have a sand trail nearby. Are
those gears sealed? How about the maintenance they take. Thanks!

Other than that, drip some bacon fat or suitable equivalent on the chain when it makes noise. Replacement rear cogs and SS chains are cheap enough to not worry, just ride.

Lube is on the inside where it belongs, not on the outside where it acts like sand lure.

fabricate a chain guard from 5 gallon oil jugs. also consider a wrap
around at front rear wheel from seat stay to chain stay. beat the grit at the source-throw off from bottom front and top rear tire. wrap the derays in electrical rear and duct tape front. clean with thinner then alcohol first.

So the brush method is not a good idea, huh? Spray first, then dry outside???

It doesn't really matter, as long as the outside of the chain is dry. With a gear hub, lube just serves to prevent rust and to quiet the chain. I usually just run a cheap KMC nickel chain with such a rig and rarely if ever give it any attention. Model Z410 is cheap and available at just about any bike/bmx/skate shop.
