Yes, we've seen it
it is a modern remake of a very old design;

lookup 'treadle bicycle'
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadle_bicycle
they are obsolete as of the invention of chain drives,

also see the 'Alenax bike' for a past failed attempt at revival of the concept:

i doubt this new product will fare much better in the long run

p.s. check your spelling
