It's a very feeble motorcycle engine starter powered reverse, which won't do IMO. A car starter reverse would weigh a few lbs more but can be used in both polarities to provide assistance.
I think it should be possible to either remove the shaft drive housing or cut into it and remove the bevel gears to remove a few % drivetrain loss. I'm sure the Campagna T-Rex chain drive solution couldn't have been that hard to build (at least without their reverse feature), but chain drive is a bit more difficult to set up than just using a short driveshaft and car rear differential.
