i like it.

have you considered also making it a light cargo bike? maybe a long rack that goes in the rear seat post and clamps to the front seat clamp. add some appropriate bags and you could install/remove without much effort.

It is like a cargo bike. I'm surprised someone hasn't turned one of those into this. In the 1950's bikes were all beach cruisers with heavy duty racks in back that could carry a passenger. I used to go from the seat to the rack for fun. Then the Schwinn Singrays had bannana seats which allowed you slide foreward and back.
