You can say my idea of driving the rear tire with a CVT is an opinion but I would ask of you or anyone to show a better system that senses load requirements and applies power? ESPECIALLY at the cost it would take to rig up a decent CVT. I do see what Boost is talking about if I understand right. He is talking about the Toyota wagon tranny (also used on sedans) with the all-trac (Toyotas AWD system of yesteryear) and to run a shaft back to a shaft drive motor bike kinda of gearbox. Very good idea indeed. Quite possible the only one able to compete with or beat the CVT to the rear tire idea. Sorry about the "Friction" partz.
You guys want to hurl insults -USE THE FOOKING PM SYSTYEM!
I agree with you Fabr,The only time I've seen outriggers on a vehicle that worked really well were on a recumbent type 2 passenger motorcycle that deployed them at slow speeds because their feet couldn't touch the ground when they came to a stop as it was a monocoque design.Outriggers would make for some really cool crash footage though for sure.
