Gearing can't raise power, only optimize torque. This is probably a sliding-seat rower. A 1930 version had front wheel drive by a drive strap attached to the seat and handlebars, and a passenger seat in back. The speed comes from the streamlining, despite the increased frontal area.

So, it's not a bicycle, more a quadrastroker. Let's settle on Velomobile (rowing)
