The only thing I see that could be considered reverse is it appears to be rolling backwards, and maybe dual bicycle instead of trike. Tough to lean into curves though.

It looks like the joints between the two bikes pivot for leaning...18 second mark of the video.

I really don't think it can. You can see the front view of that cross link on the seat down tubes at .06 Even if it can lean due to frame flex it wouldn't be able to lean very much due to the pedals being connected via cross shaft as well One other place to look also at.o6 is the way the front lights are mounted on strips that appear to have two screws on each end.

And twice the weight and friction, why bother?

Totally Agreed Frank! The only linkage I see is for the steering yoke linkage every thing else looks rigid to me, including the headlight braket. Overall that is probably $3k+ worth of e-bikes built by someone with to much time and money on hand and probably a bit dangerous. I'd take a trike any day especially a drift Trike to have some fun on.
