Isn't that a tricycle technically?

weight is naturally over the rear.
the front has enough trouble keeping traction steering

On hard sprints your weight transfers to the rear wheel. Besides, you need the front for steering and adding drive to that wheel would be complicated at best.

KISS.

BIG WHEEL FTW!

In reality it should be pretty clear once hills are taken into account.

There's also some kit to let you drive both wheels of a dirtbike, they found a way to eleminate the torque steer (counterrotating drive shafts or something) so you can get more traction.

He said bicycles, not motorcycles.
