Hello Vi,
it would be cool, if you could reverse the driving direction in the case of two
riders, such that both of them sit in the back and the Futon Express in balances
again. Steering could be done with a handle in between the two riders.
Reversing the pedal direction is probably not easy though...
regards,
DirkS
