Gearing and position - yep! Can't approximate getting out of the saddle at all so gotta have a low gear to get going from a stop. And then can't get any speed up with a suitably low gear.
That was sort of what I was thinking with a fixed gear recumbent. The gearing, something low enough to get going but large enough to not spin out on everything. I don't know what that would be or would look like.
