Don't remember exactly how it was done but a neighbor 40 years ago came home with a brand new wards scooter that had a centrifugal 2 speed belt transmission.

Then there's the v-belt ones that are lever actuated like lawn tractors have, with more pulleys and another lever you could go two speed pretty easy and cheap and still be able to use a centrifugal to keep belt wear down.
