Two-wheel drive bikes are actually a good idea. Some combustion-engine models actually exist. Mostly dirt bikes. US-based Christini make Honda CRF derivatives with a pretty cool front-wheel drive system. The difference might be hard to tell for people who haven't ridden dirt bikes, I'm not sure, but here's a video that shows a little bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si-bI84SZKA
Yamaha also made a two-wheel-drive racebike prototype. Don't remember the name.
It's pretty interesting to read the ride reports on two-wheel-drive bikes. The handling seems to make a lot of sense ...
That's so cool! I want to ride one now! That's a really good use of electric bikes, I think. A super quiet, AWD, off road bike. Would be nifty for riding in the forest.
