Ups!
I suppose, if you want higher gear, simply move your feet to the front pedals and vice versa!
I noticed both cranks are actually the same distance to the saddle so it seems you can put your feet on either one of them depending on your choice high or very high gear ratio. It's essentially a 2 speed bike....but without actually shifting gears at all...so it's also a single speed at the same time, confusing isn't it??

Ups!
It is not easy, but you can ride together - one controls, sitting on the frame, the other turns the rods, sitting on the saddle.
I'm on my bike riding alone in reality:

Demonstration of the new transmission. The video also shows an idle time of just 84 seconds. In reality, the connecting rods spin at idle for about two minutes.
