Looks very comfy but with almost no pedaling advantage, I call it more electric scooter than bicycle.
I can see lots of fat lazy people cruising on these or renting them at resorts.
It's not an exercise device which might make it very successful.

Has there ever been a Penny Farthing type of bike with a gearing multiplier on the front wheel?
If the crank axles were separate from the wheel axle, couldn't identical gear ratios be added to both sides of the fork to gain pedaling efficiency?
