In this case, get off the bike and shift it into a higher gear. Then downshift again.
(Starting on steep slopes is even more difficult on a FWD recumbent... )
I routinely ride at under 3 mph. I'm grated down to 17" and if go lower if I could without screwing up my top end our the spacing.
All that said, a recumbent true for touring is a brilliant idea.
