Has anybody put an engine onto a fatbike, like the Surly Pugsly for example? It's possible to ride on snow, soft deep sand, shallow swamps without really sinking in. Now sure what will happen if you get off and take a step though. There will definitely be a need for chain line engineering here. I'm thinking the go ped CVT may be helpful in many ways here. http://www.gopednation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=263571

I've been riding my motorized mountain bike with standard 26X2.1 tires in the snow. If I pedal hard standing and give it plenty of gas, then I can ride through deep snow up to my pedals and axels. It looks crazy, but it actually works. Just don't lose momentum and watch out for naked ice if you don't have studded or screwwed tires. I think it would be super on a fatbike. I plan to put screws in my tires and run up and down the big Moscow river here when it finally freezes over)))
