New Semi-Recumbent Tandem shown at Taipei Cycle Show

I've been surprised not to see more coverage of the Taipei Cycle show in the online cycling press (this is the third biggest such show after Eurobike and Interbike), so today I started searching for it. I found an interesting blog post that showed a new semi-recumbent tandem. The manufacturer has a minimalist page that includes it here.



Of course, it is a similar set-up to the Bilenky Viewpoint and Hase Pino, but what makes this unique is the two independent drivetrains! The drivetrains don't even match, with the rear person getting a triple chankset, but the front only have a single chainring. Despite this, the front person has two gear levers, so I'm not sure what the left lever would control.
