fixed gear the pedals always turn with the rear wheel is turning, single speed can coast with the pedal not turning. I have both hubs on mine, I can flip the rear wheel quickly depending on which I want. I usually keep it single speed.
it impacts the weight by not having all the gears, derailleurs, cables, controllers, etc.
certainly you can get lighter and have all the bells and whistles, that will cost ya though.
