Worst of both worlds. Heavy *and* crap aerodynamics.
This sort of bike has its niche, and that's mostly as a pootling about bike for people who for whatever reason can't get on with saddles or standard bike geometry, but lack the flexibility or nerve for proper recumbents. It might make a nice commuter bike if you're going for the slow and steady so as not to work up a sweat in everyday clothes approach.
And remember that all bikes come with a 24" gear
Sort of. Getting off and pushing is strongly contraindicated with some geometries (basically, anything really low or with USS will hurt your back within minutes, even if you can keep it stable). Trikes can be pulled, but that's even more awkward uphill. Gearing down (to well below 24") is a far better approach.
Should be okay with these upright long wheelbase types, though.
