Where would the battery pack be in a tandem seat design? To keep the height the same as the XL1, a tandem design would need to be quite long. The side taper would have to be reduced because you still have to fit the wheels and the passenger and the drivetrain.

Another "compromise" of tandem seating is that the people can't see the other person's face.
