That DeRosa Tango is not new. It was around years ago and discontinued a while back.

I am wondering if there's something going down the main shaft to the rear hub and it's powered by his body sliding down the frame, almost a worm-drive scenario...

Someone pushes him to start and he maintains momentum from the bodyweight thrust. My guess is some kind of large cord helps to create tension that suddenly lets go which creates some inertia.
