I'd always wanted to do a lugged tandem, but we can't afford the tooling for it, it would be extreeeeeemly suicidal, and it would take many tandem-curious people out of the running. A tandem is rarely the most ridden bike, and a super expensive one risks becoming a objet d'guilt or a at least a tug-o'-war thing in a marriage; and it rules out riders of moderate means. The HHH is a strong, fun, practical, and affortable--and even so, I think we've maxed out the market for it. We've place our order, and have painfully said no to one or two who missed the deadline. Most of the stuff about it and that is here: http://hubbuhubbuh.tumblr.com/
In a year or two if we have more interest, we could do another round of them. But "interest" would have to be followed by a pay-up-front & wait-a-ton commitment, and that's a lot to ask. I had no idea we'd get the response we did, but I think that's a one-time aberration-lightning bolt thing that could never be repeated. Anyway, I'm happy with the HHH because it is coming out so well, but I don't see us as a tandem company. I think (and hope) that other truly tandem companies will have a look at the HHH layout and so on, and copy it. Who wouldn't want a fun fatty tandem with a steel fork and almost unlimited capabilities that *allows* dangerous adventurous, but is ideal for family rides with kids as young as ten?
