1st tandem-advice needed

Just bought a Cignal Melbourne Express primarily to get my 88 year old mother a little bit of exercise. Needed something with a low stoker step-over and it fit the bill. It is an entry level steel "Comfort" bike with 26"wheels.
My wife who does not ride, got a look at it and said she would give it a try. It looks like a bike that would work for touring, especially on rails-to-trails.
The ape hanger handle bars look like the first thing to upgrade and I'm wondering about trekking, or mustache bars ? Also wondering whether there are tandem-specific racks, or if there is a specfic type I should look for.
Thanks.
