I seem to remember that some else built one using an hydraulic motor to drive the front wheel.  A dirtbike it was, and I read about it in some bike magazine a few years ago.  Tester said it worked well going up hill.

They are more like tractors than bikes.

I never rode or drove a 2 wheeled tractor Lester, i imagine that would be quite interesting...

An Aussie guy built a fluid drive 2 wheeled bike, i'll see if i can find any info on it...

Here you go....

That looks like the bike I recall.  Looks like great Aussie engineering!
