It won't be small when unladen that is an unreasonable design constraint IMO.

Do you know the name of this company that makes tandem that can also be a single, leisesturm? Do you have any web links to more info about it? It's a long time since I started this thread, but I don't think I said that I didn't want the passenger to pedal. I do want him to earn his ride!
