      “German mobility startup Dolas eBike has unveiled a modern utility take on a tandem bike”

      “such things as a second seat, static handlebar, rear rack, baskets and so on can be mounted to the long rail up top”

        On one hand, yes, two riders can be in-line – but by that logic, all long-tail cargo bikes could be “tandems” and that just doesn’t feel right.

        I’d say it’s not really a tandem unless the stoker can stoke (i.e., it’s got a second functioning crank).

        It’s the second rider that makes it a tandem bike though, not a third wheel.
